Government officials have debunked media allegations that Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness's carcade was stopped at the entrance of India's newly constructed Parliament building. The claims were labeled as factually incorrect.

Prime Minister Holness embarked on a four-day visit to India, starting Monday. His itinerary included engagements in Delhi, followed by a trip to Varanasi on Wednesday.

The baseless reports were categorically refuted by reliable government sources, emphasizing the smooth progression of the Jamaican leader's visit to the country. The reports had suggested a breach in protocol which was strongly denied.
