After Lekhi denial, MEA clarifies on Hamas query

IndiaTimes Saturday, 9 December 2023
MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi clarified that a technical correction will be made to attribute the reply on the designation of Hamas to V Muraleedharan. Union minister Meenakshi Lekhi denied approving the answer and called for an inquiry. The question, asked by Congress MP Kumbakudi Sudhakaran, inquired about declaring Hamas a terrorist organization. The written answer mistakenly attributed to Lekhi, mentioned that the designation of an organization as a terrorist is covered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. There are calls for investigation and accountability regarding the situation.

India Calls Killings In Rafah ‘Heartbreaking’, Reaffirms Palestinian Statehood Amid European Moves

India on Thursday reaffirmed its long-standing position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict following the recent recognition of Palestine by Ireland, Norway, and Spain. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal highlighted India's historical support for Palestinian statehood and a two-state solution. When asked about the coordinated decision by Spain, Ireland, and Norway to formally recognise Palestine, Jaiswal, at a weekly press briefing, said, “As you are aware, India was one of the first countries to recognise the state of Palestine in the late 1980s, and we have long supported a two-state solution which entails the establishment of a sovereign, viable, and independent state of Palestine within recognised and mutually agreed borders, living side by side with Israel in peace.” #IndiaOnRafah #HeartbreakingKillings #RafahIncident #PalestinianStatehood #MEAStatement #IndiaSupportsPalestine #EuropeanMoves #MiddleEastConflict #DiplomaticResponse #HumanRights #InternationalAffairs #PeaceInMiddleEast #GlobalSolidarity #RafahTragedy #PalestineIsraelConflict ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.155~
