BJP MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar lambasts Delhi CM: ‘Don’t start burning bridges with India’s friends’
By Team Newsable | First Published May 19, 2021, 4:19 PM IST BJP MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar said it was inappropriate to make such baseless remarks to cover up their administrative failures and to provoke animosity with allies.
A day after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that there is a "Singapore variant" of COVID-19 which is "very dangerous" for children, the Foreign Affairs Ministry has hit out for making false claims without checking the facts, and also debunked the social media assertions.
In an official statement, the Foreign Ministry said, "MFA regrets the unfounded assertions made on Facebook and Twitter by Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal that a variant of COVID-19 found in Singapore was particularly harmful to children and could cause the third wave of infections in India. MFA is disappointed that a prominent political figure had failed to ascertain the facts before making such claims. MFA met the High Commissioner of India P Kumaran this morning to express these concerns."
