The Ministry of External Affairs of India has officially addressed recent reports concerning an email from Jeffrey Epstein that mentioned the Prime Minister’s 2017 visit to Israel. In response, Indian officials confirmed that the Prime Minister did indeed make the official visit in July 2017 as part of scheduled diplomatic engagements. However, regarding the claims or insinuations made in Epstein’s email, the ministry clarified that they are baseless. Officials described the contents of the email as “little more than trashy ramblings by a convicted criminal” and emphasized that such statements hold no credibility. They urged that these unsubstantiated allegations should be dismissed entirely and given no weight in public discourse. The ministry’s response underscores India’s stance on ensuring that official records and verified events are not overshadowed by irrelevant, defamatory claims from individuals with a history of criminal activity, reiterating the importance of relying only on credible sources for information.
