Centre Denies Iran Minister Raised Prophet Comments In Meeting
The government today denied that a visiting Iranian minister raised the controversial comments on Prophet Muhammad by members of the ruling BJP, which has sparked furious reactions from at least 15 Islamic nations. An Iranian statement had claimed that its Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian - the first big visitor from Iran days after the country joined Kuwait, Qatar and other Gulf nations in condemning the Prophet comments - had raised the controversial remarks in a meeting with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.
