Congress alleges ‘cover-up’ in Puri–Epstein links, seeks clarity on Bill Gates’ AI Summit role

New Delhi, Feb 17 (UNI) The Congress today launched a sharp attack on the Centre, accusing union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri of “lying openly” about his past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and questioning the government over alleged ambiguity surrounding Bill Gates’ participation in the ongoing AI Summit.
‎Addressing a press conference here, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera alleged that Puri’s meetings with Epstein began soon after Narendra Modi took oath as Prime Minister in May 2014, raising questions about the capacity in which the former diplomat-turned-politician engaged with the disgraced financier.
‎Khera claimed that Puri met Epstein 14 times and exchanged 62 emails with him, asserting that these interactions began in the first week of June 2014, days after the new government assumed office.
