Speaking at a giant meeting of the Beijing-based Indian network at the Indian House here in the case of the 74th day of the country’s independence, Misri spoke of the face of Indian expats in China.
Many expatriate members of the family circle are stranded in India due to visa issues following the VOCD-19 pandemic and flight disruption.
After hoisting the country’s flag and reading President Ram Nath Kovind’s speech to the country on Friday, Misri spoke of “border aggression,” in an obvious reference to the Chinese-Indian borders in eastern Ladakh.
“As you just heard the president’s speech, 2020 was a very year, and he added for us here in China. In India, we have faced the double challenge of COVID-19, as well as aggression on our borders,” Misri said.
“I locate that the scenario that all indigenous people face today is none other than the scenario we face in our struggle for independence.
“So it is transparent that the effort we want now to succeed over demanding situations ahead is reminiscent of what our nation, our other people and our compatriots did in the struggle for independence,” he said.
The same sacrifices will also be necessary. Therefore, it is a challenge that we can only face in combination. All sectors of society will have to combine to do so, he said.
He has already begun to face this challenge, he said.
Concerned about tackling the epidemic, the government has not given up the accelerator in terms of reforms and in the past seven months has noticed a series of reforms very much in the areas of education, taxation, work, agriculture and other similar spaces. He said.
“This motion for reform and its spirit, I am convinced, will make our country triumph over existing challenges,” Misri said.
By addressing the upheavals faced by expatriate Indians in China, he came forward to help them in every single possible way.
“For us here in China, things have also changed imperceptibly and I am sure that in some cases adjustments have an effect on their daily lives,” the envoy said.
He said the Indian embassy and various consulates in the country were in a position to help the Indian community. “Any difficulty and upheaval, we’re here to help you find the answers as much as you can imagine in the existing circumstances,” he said.
“The Chinese government itself is going through an era in which it is implementing other policies to respond to developments. We will have to adapt to those policies and do everything we can for our citizens,” he said.
