India calls US remark on CAA ‘misplaced, misinformed, unwarranted’, says votebank politics shouldn't determine views

IndiaTimes Friday, 15 March 2024
Dismissing the US State Department’s comments on implementation of the Act as “misplaced, misinformed and unwarranted”, the govt said lectures by those who have a limited understanding of India’s pluralistic traditions and the region’s post-Partition history are best not attempted. “There are no grounds for any concern on treatment of minorities…partners and well-wishers of India should welcome the intent with which this step has been taken,” said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

Ebrahim Raisi Helicopter Crash: U.S denies Involvement In The Death Of The Iranian President

In a surprising turn of events, the United States disclosed that Iran sought its assistance following the helicopter crash that tragically killed President Ebrahim Raisi over the weekend. While offering condolences, Washington stated that it was unable to accommodate the Iranian request due to logistical challenges. This rare appeal from Iran, which typically regards America and Israel as adversaries, was revealed by the US State Department during a news briefing. Responding to queries about potential blame from Tehran, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin firmly denied any US involvement in the crash. #EbrahimRaisi #RaisiDeath #USEbrahimRaisiDeath #TehranBlamesUS #JoeBiden #RaisiFuneral #IranMourning #CrashSite #Visuals #RescueEfforts #HelicopterCrash #IranianTragedy #BreakingNews #IranianPresident #Investigation #Condolences #NationalMourning #NewsUpdate #EmergingDetails #VideoFootage ~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~HT.96~

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~
