Talked to NSA Ajit Doval in the Prophet Muhammad case
There is a ruckus in the country and abroad on the statements of Naveen Kumar Jindal and Nupur Sharma, who were in BJP on Prophet Mohammad. Meanwhile, the government has made it clear that anyone’s personal comments do not reflect the views of the government. The Ministry of External Affairs said that action has been taken against those who have given statements.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi when asked whether the issue of controversial remarks also came up during the meeting of External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar and the Foreign Minister of Iran? I understand that this issue has not been raised.
Arindam Bagchi was also asked about reports of controversial remarks against Prophet Mohammad being raised during a meeting of visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdullahiyan with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Regarding this, it has been claimed in Iran’s statement that strict action has been assured against those who make such comments.
To this Bagchi said that his understanding is that the statement you are referring to has been withdrawn. Let us inform that Iran’s Foreign Minister Hussain Amir Abdullahian, who visited India, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday.
These countries have condemned
In recent days, several countries including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Indonesia, Maldives, Jordan and Bahrain have condemned controversial remarks against the Prophet Mohammed. Also Qatar, Iran and Kuwait summoned Indian ambassadors.
After the matter caught fire, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) suspended spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelled the party’s Delhi unit’s media chief Naveen Kumar Jindal.
