The BJP suspended Sharma and expelled Jindal on Sunday after a number of West Asian countries summoned Indian envoys. In a statement released on Tuesday, Malaysia’s foreign ministry said that it summoned BN Reddy, India’s high commissioner to the country, and rejected the statements by the BJP spokespersons. In response, New Delhi reiterated that the BJP spokespersons’ statements do not reflect the views of the Indian government. The foreign ministry of Libya also expressed its concern on the “insulting statements” on Prophet Muhammad by the BJP spokespersons. The spokesperson made the remarks in response to a question by a Pakistani journalist on the condemnation of the remarks about Prophet Muhammad by several Muslim-dominated nations.
