Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi on Saturday denied that she has signed a paper with a question regarding declaring Palestinian militant group Hamas as a terrorist organisation in India.

This comes after journalist Sidhant Sibal on Friday posted the official response from Parliament website mentioning Lekhi’s name on social media platform X. Lekhi had responded to Sibal’s tweet on Saturday saying: “You have been misinformed as I have not signed any paper with this question and this answer.”

However, the question, available on Parliament website, was posed by Congress Lok Sabha MP K Sudhakaran. The MP had asked the government whether it has any proposal to declare Hamas as a terrorist organisation in India.
