'Post is misleading, misrepresents spokesperson's statement': MEA fact-checks viral claim on CJP protests

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) fact-checked a viral X post claiming its spokesperson said there is no foreign funding in the CJP protest, calling the post misleading.
The MEA stated that the X post misrepresents the spokesperson's statement, without specifying what the spokesperson actually said about foreign funding.
The viral post claimed the MEA spokesperson said, 'Our intelligence & investigation reveals there is no Foreign funding in it,' but the MEA denied this characterization.
