]]> India on Saturday firmly rejected a reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi found in investigative material linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, calling it baseless and offensive. The Ministry of External Affairs said the remark amounted to nothing more than unfounded speculation by a criminal and deserved to be treated with complete contempt.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the government had taken note of reports referring to an email from the so-called Epstein files that mentioned the prime minister and his visit to Israel. He clarified that while Prime Minister Modi did undertake an official visit to Israel in July 2017, any other suggestion or implication in the email was entirely without merit.

Jaiswal stated that apart from the factual reference to the official visit, the remaining content of the email was merely reckless conjecture by a convicted criminal and should be outrightly rejected. He underlined that such insinuations carry no credibility and should not be taken seriously.

The email in question is part of a large set of investigative documents released by the United States Justice Department on Friday. These materials were made public in compliance with an American law passed by the US Congress.

According to officials, the latest release includes nearly 3.5 million pages of documents along with around 2,000 videos related to investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. The Indian government has reiterated that any attempt to draw connections involving its leadership from such material is completely unfounded.

External affairs minister of India, S Jaishankar has also tweeted in response to this. He said “Irresponsible comments can damage long standing partnerships”.
