Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh raised three question to PM Modi ahead of his visit to Russia. He said that PM Manmohan Singh had more meetings with Russian leaders than PM Modi. He further asked questions on the trade-deficit between India and Russia and the Indian youth joining the Russian Army.
He said, “I have raised three questions to the non-biological PM. Dr Manmohan Singh and Putin and the Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev had met 16 times in 10 years. Putin and Modi have met 11 times. So does this mean some cooling of relations between Russia and India? That's the first question. Second, our imports from Russia are almost $46 billion. Our exports to Russia are hardly about $3.5 billion. This is a completely unsustainable trade deficit. So what is the non-biological PM doing? Will he raise the issue of this unsustainable trade deficit which is hurting our industry, which is hurting our trade? And third and most important issue is that 50 Indian youths are fighting in the Russian army. It means there are no jobs here. They are desperate, they are looking for jobs and they have to go and become Agniveers for Russia. And two of them have died. So who is recruiting them? Which is this contractor? What are its political links? We can't give jobs to our youth. So will the non-biological PM raise this issue with Putin?”
