New Delhi. Aam Aadmi Party has raised a new political question. It is alleged that Hardeep Singh Puri did not meet Epstein with the delegation. They met privately several times. Anurag Dhanda showed the documents in the press conference. He said that records of mail and appointment are available. If this is true then the matter is serious. Puri’s claim is different.
Is the claim of delegation wrong?
Puri had earlier said that they met as part of the delegation. But you say the meetings were personal. There is talk of changing the time in the mail and meeting at home. These things do not seem formal. Dhanda said that this does not look like a normal diplomatic meeting. The question is what is the truth.
What is the connection with becoming a minister?
You also asked when these meetings took place. It is claimed that several meetings took place between 2014 and 2017. After this period, Puri was made a minister. Was there any connection between these meetings? Did you get any benefit in exchange for any advice? This is an allegation, not proven. But in politics, question is the biggest weapon.
Is the government under pressure?
Dhanda also said that America has not yet released all the files. He asked a direct question. Is there any pressure? Was any concession given in exchange for suppressing any file? This is a big allegation. The government has not yet given a detailed answer on this. The opposition is making it an issue.
What is the private language in mail?
You say that there is very informal language in the mail. There is mention of meeting at home. The change in timing was immediately agreed upon. All this does not seem like a normal government meeting. If so, then cleaning is necessary. The public has the right to know this.
Will the demand for testing increase?
Aam Aadmi Party has demanded an investigation. He says that Indian agencies should investigate these documents. Till the investigation is done, the minister should resign from his post. This is a political demand. The government may call it a political attack. But the question has arisen.
What political storm lies ahead?
This matter was not just about one person. The image of the government has also been added to this. If the documents are correct then you will have to answer. Even if the allegations are false, a clear statement is necessary. Trust is the biggest asset in politics. Now it remains to be seen how far this controversy goes. At present the ball is in the government’s court.
