Addressing a programme organized by Bharat Vikas Manch, an organization associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), chief Mohan Bhagwat said that it was only India that helped Sri Lanka and Maldives when these countries were in distress while other countries were interested in finding business opportunities, the Indian media reported.
Countries like China, the United States, and Pakistan turned their attention to Sri Lanka when they saw business opportunities there, he said.
“But now when Sri Lanka is in trouble, who is extending help? It is only India. Who sent water to the Maldives when it was facing a water crisis? It was India that did. This is spiritual India,” he said.
