Jaishankar on usaid funding controversy: US President Donald Trump has claimed that a $ 21 million fund was provided to increase voting in India. Now for the first time, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has reacted to this dispute. He insisted that the truth will be revealed. Earlier, the Government of India has also said that if there is any dispute then investigation will be conducted.
What did Jaishankar say on Trump’s claim?
External Affairs Minister Jaishankar said that USAID was allowed to work with goodwill in India, but now there are indications that some activities have been done with wrong intentions. The Trump administration has shared some information, which is worrying. It seems as if all this has been done with a special purpose. The government is investigating the matter. Soon the whole truth and facts will be revealed.
What did Donald Trump say?
Now this matter has become so big because Donald Trump has claimed not once but thrice that India has received money from America. It is a different matter that another report claimed that $ 21 million was not assisted for Bangladesh, but President Trump says the amount was given to both countries. Once again, he has said that India is taking advantage of this.
In his latest statement, Trump emphasized that giving money to India at the time of elections is completely unnecessary, he does not need any financial assistance. India only benefits from America and the most tariff is applicable to it globally. Now on one side, President Trump is making such claims, on the other hand, politics has become hot in India about these claims. The BJP has linked Trump’s words with interference in the election and said that the Congress is using external forces.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has also said that it should be investigated who is attacking the foundation of India. On the other hand, the opposition is seeking clarification from the government on the matter.
