Indian Government Clarifies Claims of Foreign Funding for CJP Protests as Misleading

The claims about alleged foreign funding of the CJP protests were linked to statements made by Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs. The ministry has now issued a statement on this. He called such posts misleading. In fact, his original statement was misrepresented during a media briefing held two weeks ago. The ministry's Fact Check Unit, posting on X, has said that the post is misleading. The spokesperson's statement is misrepresented. The Ministry of External Affairs made this post at a time when spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. "I have been asked several times about the funding of the CJP protests. I want to say that our intelligence and investigations show that there is no foreign funding." The post is misleading and misrepresents the statement of the spokesperson. At the BiWeek Briefing on Friday, the spokesperson said following, "You raised the point about'foreign funding'and'foreign funding'in relation to the protests."
