Congress MP Jairam Ramesh recalled India's diplomatic role during the 1956 Suez Crisis, noting that VK Krishna Menon played a central role under Jawaharlal Nehru's leadership. He said that the UN Emergency Force, deployed on the Egypt-Israel border, had two Indian commanders between 1959 and 1967. "Nehru himself had addressed the Indian contingent at the Gaza Strip in...1960," Ramesh added.
