New Delhi. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar reversed the allegations made by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi regarding his own visit to America and said, “He damages the image of India abroad.” Rahul Gandhi had alleged in Parliament that Foreign Minister S Jaishankar was repeatedly sent to America so that PM Narendra Modi could get an invitation for the swearing in of Donald Trump. The Foreign Minister said that Rahul Gandhi has deliberately spread lies about my visit to America.
Leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi deliberately spoke a falsehood about my visit to the us in December 2024.

S. Jaishankar wrote in a social media post, I went to meet the State Secretary of Biden Administration and NSA. At the same time, I had to preside over a meeting of our Consul General. During my stay, the new US designated NSA met me. At any level, no discussion was held regarding the Prime Minister’s US visit, Trump’s swearing in. It is common that our Prime Minister usually does not include such events. Special messengers from India represent the country in such a program.
Jaishankar in the end wrote, the purpose of Rahul Gandhi’s lies can be political but he has always been harming the country abroad. Earlier, when Rahul made this allegation in Parliament, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju also expressed strong reaction by objecting. At the same time, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla also interrupted Rahul Gandhi’s statement and said that you have to present the evidence of what you are making in the House. Now if Rahul Gandhi is unable to present evidence in the House, then his comment will be removed from the House’s record. There has also been a meeting between Kiren Rijiju and Om Birla in this regard.
