India’s foreign ministry responds to reports of a dispute involving a Hindu religious group’s visit to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal addresses questions after claims that female employees were “removed” from the premises during the group’s visit.

Indian officials frame the issue as one related to conduct and arrangements at the site, while the questions focus on how staff were treated during the visit. The reports referenced by outlets describe a controversy around access and presence on the premises, with attention on whether any staff were asked to leave.

Across coverage, the core points center on the claim of staff being taken off-site and the official response from India’s ministry. Different outlets emphasize either the allegation itself or the official clarification, but they all point to the same incident and the subsequent diplomatic questions raised by observers.
