New Delhi. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, while answering the questions of journalists in the weekly press conference today, reacted on several issues including the recent mid-term elections in America, Sheikh Hasina's return to Bangladesh. On US midterm elections, Jaiswal said that it is their internal matter. However, I would say that India-US relations have the support of both major political parties. We will continue to work towards further strengthening these relations and our comprehensive global strategic partnership.

On the extradition of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Jaiswal said, it is a legal matter, and it will be processed accordingly. Obviously, people need travel documents to travel. As far as I understand, that is the case but still, it is a technical matter. Let us tell you that Sheikh Hasina, through her lawyers, has applied to the Bangladesh Embassy in New Delhi for the issuance of her new passport and national identity card.

Regarding the visit of Nepalese Prime Minister Balen Shah to India, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, as we have said earlier, we have invited the Prime Minister of Nepal to visit India. Talks are going on between the two sides regarding this visit. All aspects of our bilateral relations with Nepal will be discussed, it is a comprehensive partnership. This is a very special partnership, and talks will take place on all issues of mutual interest.
What did Jaiswal say on the online propaganda campaign against India?
On the online disinformation campaign being run from Bangladesh in which Chinese content creators are using footage from economically backward areas of Dhaka and presenting it as New Delhi, spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, we have seen media reports in this regard. Such attempts to present a wrong picture of any country are unfortunate. Especially when foreign elements are trying to show Dhaka as Delhi. Spreading false narratives only lowers the credibility of those doing so and the people behind them. We would urge the concerned authorities to take action against such people.
