新加坡外长抨击德里首席部长，要求他“遵循事实”

NEW DELHI: Singapore foreign minister Vivian Balakrishnan on Wednesday slammed Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for his tweet on a dangerous variant in Singapore, asking the activist-turned politician to "stick to facts."

新德里：周三，新加坡外长维文（Vivian Balakrishnan）抨击德里首席部长阿尔温德·凯杰里瓦尔在推特上发布的关于新加坡出现危险变种的推文，要求这位活动人士出身的政客“遵循事实”。

"Politicians should stick to facts! There is no “Singapore variant”," Balakrishnan replied to Kejriwal on twitter, attaching a link which detailed the spread of the B.1.617 variant in Singapore.

维文在推特上回复凯杰里瓦尔“政客说话要有事实依据，没有所谓的新加坡变种”，并附上了B.1.617变种在新加坡传播的详细信息。

The B.1.617 variant was first found in India and has since spread to many countries, including United Kingdom and Singapore.

B.1.617变种最初是在印度发现的，后来传播到包括英国和新加坡在内的许多国家。

Even S Jaishankar, India's foreign minister, tweeted a clarification on the matter, saying the Delhi CM "does not speak for India."

就连印度外交部长苏杰生也在推特上澄清了此事，称德里首席部长“不能代表印度说话”。

"Singapore and India have been solid partners in the fight against Covid-19. Appreciate Singapore's role as a logistics hub and oxygen supplier," said Jaishankar.

苏杰生说：“新加坡和印度在抗击新冠疫情上是坚实的伙伴。（我们）欣赏新加坡作为物流中心和氧气供应商（所起的作用）。”

"Irresponsible comments from those who should know better can damage long-standing partnerships," said Jaishankar.

“然而，那些不了解情况的人的不负责言论却损害了两国持久的关系，”苏杰生说道。

He abused Indian Army and even sided with rioters, khalistanis and other anti nationals. Not sure what research has he done but this guy is desperate to come in news and give instructions to central govt. Himself, he could not even build a single hospital and a single oxygen plant.

他辱骂印度军队，甚至支持骚乱者和其他反国家分子。不知道他做了什么研究，这家伙就迫不及待地想上新闻，给印度政府下达指令。他自己甚至连一家医院和氧气厂都建不起来。

If Kejriwal is alarmed by singapore, he can refuse to accept oxygen tankers and supplies which came from Singapore. They can be sent to other states.

如果凯杰里瓦尔对新加坡感到担心，他可以拒绝接受来自新加坡的氧气罐和其他物资，可以把这些东西送到其他邦。
