I am writing in response to your query regarding the Tri-Vortex technology and the Tiranga copper bangle.
I had accepted a request from my friend and fellow Member of Parliament, Naveen Jindal, as founder and head of the Flag Foundation of India, to launch a new “Tiranga bangle”. In accepting, I was merely obliging a friend, as indeed is a common practice.
I have the highest respect for Mr. Jindal and his excellent work promoting our national flag. Nonetheless, et me clarify that my launching the product does not in any way amount to an endorsement of any of the claims associated with it. I do believe that a scientific temper requires that any claims of health benefits be tested empirically before being accepted or dismissed.
Thank you, nonetheless, for writing to me, and for your concern.
Yours sincerely,
Shashi Tharoor
