Rahul Gandhi's comment in the Lok Sabha Monday that Foreign Minister S Jaishankar was sent "three-four times to get an invite for our Prime Minister" for Donald Trump inauguration as US president, has been categorically denied by the Minister.
"Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi deliberately spoke a falsehood about my visit to the US in December 2024. I went to meet the Secretary of State and NSA of the Biden Administration. Also to chair a gathering of our Consuls General. During my stay, the incoming NSA-designate met with me," S Jaishankar posted on X.
"At no stage was an invitation in respect of the PM discussed. It is common knowledge that our PM does not attend such events. In fact, India is generally represented by Special Envoys," said the Minister.
