India Rejects Epstein Files' Modi-Israel Visit Reference as 'Trashy Ruminations'
- •Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) rubbished claims in newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents linking PM Modi's 2017 Israel visit to impropriety.
- •MEA stated that beyond the fact of the official visit, other allusions in the email are 'trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal' and deserve contempt.
- •MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal clarified that the reference only pertained to PM Modi's official visit to Israel in July 2017, with no basis for other conclusions.
- •PM Modi's 2017 visit was historic, marking the first by an Indian PM to Israel since diplomatic ties were established in 1992.
- •The clarification follows the US Department of Justice's release of a large tranche of Epstein-related documents, including emails and other materials.
Why It Matters: India dismisses Epstein files' email reference to PM Modi's 2017 Israel visit as baseless and contemptible.
