The External Affairs Ministry has issued a clarification after Minister of State Meenakshi Lekhi said that a reply to a question in Parliament about Hamas was being wrongly attributed to her.

'Needs technical correction': foreign ministry after Meenakshi Lekhi denies answering Hamas question

The External Affairs Ministry has issued a clarification after Minister of State Meenakshi Lekhi said that a reply to a question in Parliament about Hamas was being wrongly attributed to her.

A technical correction is being made mentioning V Muraleedharan's name as the minister who replied to a Parliament question on the designation of Hamas, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Saturday.
The clarification from MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi came hours after Union minister Meenakshi Lekhi said she did not approve any answer to the question.
Both Lekhi and Muraleedharan are ministers of state in the MEA.
Responding to a post on X, Lekhi on Saturday said she did not approve any answer to the question and said an "inquiry will reveal the culprit".
"We have noted that Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 980 answered on December 8 needs a technical correction in terms of reflecting V Muraleedharan as the Minister of State replying to the Parliament question. This is being suitably undertaken," Bagchi said.
His response came on media queries on the matter.
The written answer to the unstarred question number 980, uploaded on the Lok Sabha's website, was attributed to Lekhi.
"You have been misinformed as I have not signed any paper with this question and this answer," Lekhi said on X in response to a post on the microblogging platform.
The question titled "Declaration of Hamas as Terrorist Organisation" was put out 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," the answer to the question mentioned.
Shiv Sena's (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said on X that "is she (Lekhi) then claiming it is a forged response, if yes this is a serious breach and violation of the rules that prevail. Would be grateful for a clarification from @MEAIndia".
Sudhakaran, who represents Kannur in the Lower House of Parliament, had asked whether the government has any proposal to declare Hamas a terrorist organisation in India; if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefore.
When pointed out that the Lok Sabha and the MEA websites had the answer to the question mentioned in her name, Lekhi said an "inquiry will reveal the culprit".
"Asking questions that were submitted through someone else led to expulsion of an MP yesterday, today a minister denies that reply to a PQ (Parliament Question) was approved by her, shouldn't that be investigated too? Shouldn't it lead to seeking accountability, however innocuous the response from the Ministry of External Affairs?" Chaturvedi asked on X.
"Who logged in for you?" Congress leader Amitabh Dubey asked in response to Lekhi's post on X.&nbsp;

Meenakshi Lekhi denied that she signed any document which declared Hamas as a terrorist organisation in India after official documents were published on social media. Opposition leaders have raised objection to Lekhi's claims.

Controversy over Meenakshi Lekhi's Parliament reply on Hamas; minister demands probe

Meenakshi Lekhi denied that she signed any document which declared Hamas as a terrorist organisation in India after official documents were published on social media. Opposition leaders have raised objection to Lekhi's claims.

Union Minister of State for External Affairs, Meenakshi Lekhi took to X on Saturday to deny that she had signed any document endorsing the declaration of Hamas as a terrorist organisation in India.&nbsp;
This after many X users shared a document regarding a reply to a Parliament question available on the Lok Sabha website that was attributed to Lekhi.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena UBT MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has sought clarification on the matter from Lekhi's minstry.

Minister Meenakshi Lekhi said, "These people (AAP councillors) are anarchists, and spreading anarchy is their job."

'My way or highway': On Delhi Mayor election chaos, Union minister slams AAP's MCD councillors

Minister Meenakshi Lekhi said, "These people (AAP councillors) are anarchists, and spreading anarchy is their job."

Following major chaos at the MCD civic centre ahead of Delhi's Mayoral election, Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi criticised the Aam Aadmi Party which is facing off against BJP in the contest.
Lekhi blamed AAP for starting the disruption, and said the party's leaders were unaware of rules.
She added, "These people (AAP councillors) are anarchists, and spreading anarchy is their job. When they are in majority, why are they afraid?"
"They have a 'my way or 'high way' attitude and the same was on display today at the civic centre," the BJP leader said.
The disruption reportedly began as Satya Sharma, the interim presiding officer appointed by Delhi Lieutenant Governor, began the oath-taking ceremony of 10 aldermen, also nominated by the LG.

Slogans were raised by councillors of both the Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party. AAP members reportedly demanded that oath-taking of elected councillors be held first.

BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi &lsquo;s remarks on farm protests outside the Parliament on Thursday have drawn a lot of flak. &nbsp;The recently appointed Minister of State for External Affairs reportedly said the protestors were &ldquo;not farmers, they are hooligans.&rdquo;.
Union minister Meenakshi Lekhi said the opposition was promoting such activities while talking about an alleged attack on a media person during the &lsquo;Farmers&rsquo; Parliament&rsquo; at the Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
Calling the protests &lsquo;criminal act&rsquo; she said &nbsp;&lsquo;what happened on January 26 in New Delhi was shameful.
The farmers were joined by Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, during their gathering near the Parliament premises.
Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait, who is leading the coalition of protestors, hit out at Lekhi and said farmers are annadatas' and to call them such names is inappropriate. &nbsp;
