The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on January 31 dismissed references in newly released Jeffrey Epstein files that mentioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his 2017 Israel visit as “trashy ruminations of a convicted criminal,” saying they deserve to be “dismissed with the utmost contempt.” The MEA clarified that Modi’s July 2017 Israel trip was an official diplomatic visit, rejecting any insinuations of impropriety or connection to Epstein’s criminal activities. The remark came after a fresh batch of Epstein-related documents was made public by the U.S. Justice Department. (PC: ANI)
