Reacting to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s claims citing a Ugandan letter alleging sex and drug trafficking of African women, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on Monday said it is sad that some people are playing with India’s relationship with friendly countries.
Earlier in the day, Kejriwal defended Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti following his controversial midnight raid, stating that a woman from Uganda High Commission handed Bharti a letter alleging women trafficking from Uganda to India.
“It is completely wrong. I don’t know who visited them (AAP). The Uganda’s High Commissioner is not here,” Khurshid said.
“I think it is sad that you are playing with country’s reputation and relationship with friendly countries. I cannot think of something greater in terms of betrayal of this country than what is being done,” he added.
Khurshid further claimed that the letter relates to some other issue that happened in June 2013, while asserting that there was no connection with the present case.
“I am accustomed to seeing this kind of letters that they transpose and play around with. This is a letter that relates to something that happened in June 2013, and it is something to do with some internal issues which they had. This has nothing to do with what they are saying,” he added.
