Covid Update: 'Delhi CM does not represent India', clarifies Foreign Minister S Jaishankar over Singapore's displeasure

After the Singapore Government's strong response to the statement of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Ministry of External Affairs has cleared India's stand. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has said that Singapore and India are strong partners in the fight against Corona. We appreciate Singapore's role as an oxygen supply support center.

He said, "The matter of deploying military aircraft to help us speaks of our extraordinary relationship. Those who are making irresponsible statements should understand that this can spoil the relationship between the two countries. In such a situation, I want to make it clear that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal does not speak for India. ”

Singapore government expressed displeasure

Earlier, Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi tweeted that the Singapore government today summoned the Indian High Commissioner on the tweet made about the Singapore variant of Delhi CM. The High Commissioner has made it clear that the CM of Delhi does not have the authority to talk on the Kovid variant or the Civil Aviation Policy.
