New Delhi, Mar 6: India summoned the Swiss Ambassador and raised the issue of unfounded and malicious anti-India posters in front of the UN building in Geneva. This came after a video of claiming that women and minorities in India are treated like "slaves" viral on social media.
MEA Secretary (West) Sanjay Verma summoned the Swiss Ambassador to India Ralf Heckner regarding this matter. To this, the Swiss Ambassador said that he would convey India's concerns to Berne with all the seriousness it deserves.
Posters in Geneva are part of space provided to all, but in no way endorse the claims, nor reflect the position of the Swiss Government, Heckner said.
