Telangana Congress chief G. Kamal Reddy said he will soon comment on the US trip row and alleged that the Ministry of External Affairs acted with malicious intent.
Telangana Congress chief G. Kamal Reddy addressed reporters on Thursday, indicating that he will soon speak on the controversy surrounding his recent trip to the United States. He asserted that the issue has been politicised and that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had "malafide intentions" in raising objections.
Reddy did not provide further details about the trip but said that his statements would clarify the facts and counter the narrative being pushed by the central government. He emphasized that the Congress party in the state remains committed to transparency and accountability.
The remarks come amid growing tension between the state Congress unit and the central government over foreign travel permissions for party leaders. Reddy urged the MEA to refrain from politicising diplomatic protocols and to allow legitimate political engagements abroad.
He concluded by promising a comprehensive response in the coming days, aiming to set the record straight and restore confidence among party workers and the public.
