On the malicious statements made by German Parliamentary delegation regarding not granting visa to Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Chief Minister in a letter addressing to Prime Minister, asked him to direct Ministry of External Affairs to take up the issue with the German Ambassador, who may be requested to ask the public officials, to apologize.

Recently a German Parliamentary delegation visited Gujarat and issued statements to some news media that were maleficent in nature and were tarnishing the image of Chief Minister, the State of Gujarat and of India. Chief Minister said that the delegation should apologize for the matter.

Shri Modi mentioned that he appreciates free press in the country but it does not give any public official of a foreign government a right to tarnish image of any elected Head of Government of the country, whether in the State Government or in the Centre. Also the statements were made based on interaction on a single days visit to Ahmedabad city and are implying that rule of law does not prevail in India.

He further demanded that either the officials should apologize or should issue a clarification in case they have not given such statements to the press.
