NEW DELHI: Facing widespread anger within the Arab international locations over the controversial feedback on Prophet Mohammad, India on Thursday mentioned it has made it clear that the remarks don’t replicate the views of the federal government.

“We have made it pretty clear that tweets and comments do not reflect views of government. This has been conveyed to our interlocutors as also the fact that action has been taken by the concerned quarters against those who made the comments and tweets. I really do not have anything additional to say on this,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi mentioned at a media briefing.

Asked in regards to the declare in an Iranian readout that mentioned that after Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian raised the problem of controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammad with NSA Ajit Doval on Wednesday, the latter mentioned that offenders will likely be handled in such a manner that others will study a lesson. Bagchi mentioned: “My understanding is that what you are referring to in a readout has been pulled down.”

He was responding to a query on the problem. The BJP on Sunday suspended its nationwide spokesperson Nupur Sharma and the celebration’s Delhi unit media head Naveen Jindal for allegedly making derogatory feedback on the Prophet.
