India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) says the Indian government does not endorse comments made at a media event involving Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Citing the MEA, both outlets report that an MEA spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, states India has no role in or responsibility for statements made at what he describes as an event organised by a private media entity. The MEA position is presented as a clarification following the remarks made during the event, with India distinguishing between its official stance and commentary associated with the media gathering. The MEA spokesperson’s comments underscore that the government’s position is not tied to what is said at such independently organised press or media interactions. The outlets also frame the development as an official response from India, indicating that India is addressing potential implications of those remarks by reiterating that it does not endorse them.
