'Govt Looking Into It, Facts Will Come Out': Jaishankar Calls USAID Funding Information From US 'Concerning'
ABP NewsExternal Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said that the information put out by the Trump administration is "concerning" and "worrisome" and that the government is looking into it. Jaishankar, while speaking at a public event at the DU Literature Festival, said the information by the Trump administration suggests that even though USAID was allowed in India "in good faith, to do good faith activities", "there are activities which are in bad faith". "So, it surely warrants a look, and if there is something to it, I think the country should know who are the people involved in the bad faith activities," the External Affairs Minister said. Addressing an event in Miami on Thursday, US President Donald Trump said that USAID allocated $21 million to boost the voter turnout in India, and wondered if it was meant to "get someone else elected".
