The Ministry of External Affairs denied political clearance for the Telangana Chief Minister's scheduled visit to the United States. Clarifying its decision, the ministry stated that proposed overseas programs must align appropriately with the office held and the purpose of the visit, which was not the case for the United States trip. However, political clearance was granted for the leader's planned visit to the United Kingdom, dismissing allegations of political vendetta. The ministry maintains that political clearance requests for state dignitaries are assessed based on official context and purpose before approval.
