India Slams UK Report, Accuses of Anti-India Bias
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday vehemently rejected allegations of “transnational repression” levelled against India in a recent British parliamentary report. The MEA termed the claims baseless and unsubstantiated, originating from unreliable sources with known anti-India leanings.
These sources, the MEA clarified, are linked to entities banned in India and individuals with a history of hostility towards the nation. The government emphasized the lack of credible evidence supporting the accusations.
The report also touched upon the case of Indian nurse Nimisha Priya, currently facing legal challenges in Yemen. The MEA maintained that this complex humanitarian issue is being handled separately and should not be conflated with the broader allegations.
This strong rebuttal highlights the growing tension between India and the UK on matters of national security and sovereignty. The incident underscores the need for robust diplomatic engagement to address such sensitive issues and prevent further escalation. The implications for bilateral relations, particularly concerning intelligence sharing and extradition treaties, warrant close monitoring.
