Speaking at a press conference during the ongoing Parliament session, Puri said the meetings took place between 2009 and 2017, when he was serving as India’s Ambassador to the United Nations in New York. He emphasised that the interactions were linked to his work with the Independent Commission on Multilateralism and other international engagements, and occurred before he joined the Union Cabinet in 2017.
“I want to remind you that today, during the Parliament session, my name was mentioned in the context of some developments elsewhere—the Epstein files. I just want to share some information. I want to clarify that these facts are all public,” Puri said.
