Greater Noida (National Desk): Foreign Minister S Jaishankar on Monday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of damaging the country’s image abroad by lying. He said that Rahul Gandhi deliberately spoke a falsehood about his visit to the US in December 2024.
S Jaishankar wrote on social media website X, “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. 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. Rahul Gandhi’s lies may be intended politically. But they damage the nation abroad.”
