Denial of Entry and Poisoning Claim
From the administration’s end, I received no information. Through the media, I learned about it. But everything is now known to the whole country. I attempted to meet him two days ago, but I was denied entry. About the claim that we gave slow poison, we previously stated as much, and we will continue to do so now. His dinner on March 19 contained poison. The news agency ANI quoted Umar Ansari as saying, “We will move to the judiciary, we have full faith in it.”
