„You have been misinformed as I have not signed any paper with this question and this answer,“ Meenakshi Lekhi posted on X.
Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi on Saturday said she did not approve any answer to a question in the Lok Sabha on declaring Hamas a terrorist organisation, prompting the opposition to call for a probe.
“You have been misinformed as I have not signed any paper with this question and this answer,” the minister of state for external affairs said in response to a post on X on the Lok Sabha question on declaring Hamas a terrorist organisation.
The unstarred question No. 980, titled “Declaration of Hamas as Terrorist Organisation”, was put by Congress MP Kumbakudi Sudhakaran.
“Designation of an organisation as terrorist is covered under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and declaring any organisation as terrorist is considered as per the provisions of the Act by the relevant government departments,” Lekhi had said in the reply on X.
