India's Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed railway project, which is 3 years behind the original commissioning schedule, has recently had another incident. A former senior Japanese official publicly accused India of “not being honest” in this Japan-India cooperation project and trying to “kick” Japan. India denied this, arguing that the relevant responsibility lies with Japan. Former Minister of Justice of the Japanese government, Makihara Hideki, posted on social media last week that “India is 100% responsible” for the slow progress of the high-speed rail project, and that he wants to speak out for “the honor of all relevant Japanese personnel who have made efforts.” Makihara said that he participated in this project and that India “does not keep good faith and will immediately overturn even what was agreed upon” and “always only takes into account its own interests.”
