Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi on Saturday said she did not approve any answer to a question in the Lok Sabha on declaring Hamas a terrorist organisation, prompting the opposition to call for a probe.

“You have been misinformed as I have not signed any paper with this question and this answer,” the minister of state for external affairs said in response to a post on X on the Lok Sabha question on declaring Hamas a terrorist organisation. The unstarred question No. 980, titled “Declaration of Hamas as Terrorist Organisation”, was put by Congress MP Kumbakudi Sudhakaran.
