The reason for the denial remains undisclosed, and no official explanation has been issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) or any relevant central authority.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Kharge Responds Cautiously, Seeks Clarification<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Reacting to the incident, Kharge posted a brief statement on X (formerly Twitter) and said \u201cI\u2019m holding back on making any public statements for now. Once I\u2019m back in Bengaluru, I will seek a clear explanation from the Government of India regarding this denial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Kharge is expected to return to Bengaluru on Thursday, having concluded his France visit as part of Karnataka\u2019s efforts to attract investment in technology, biotechnology, and aerospace.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">BJP Responds: \u201cNo Clarity Yet on Clearance Denial\u201d<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has pushed back on this narrative. Spokesperson Prashanth G S, speaking to NDTV, said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThere is no clarity about the level at which clearance was denied. I would not comment till the Ministry of External Affairs explains why permission was withheld. The government has previously allowed opposition leaders to be part of official delegations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">He added that several opposition MPs had recently been sent abroad under India\u2019s anti-terror global outreach programme post Operation Sindoor, visiting countries like the UK, US, and South Korea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, the spokesperson couldn\u2019t resist taking a swipe at the Congress, particularly Rahul Gandhi, saying \u201cWe all know how often Rahul Gandhi goes abroad and defames India\u2026 But has the government ever denied him clearance? Even now, he is missing, and no one knows where he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Awaiting Government Clarification<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As of now, the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs, which oversee travel clearances for state ministers, have not issued any statements on why Kharge was denied permission. With Kharge expected to raise the issue formally upon his return, the matter may soon become a political flashpoint between the Congress-led Karnataka government and the BJP-led Centre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a move that has stirred political debate, the Central government has denied permission to Karnataka IT and Bio-Technology Minister Priyank Kharge to travel to the United States, where he was slated to participate in high-profile technology and biotech conferences.
