'Hope everyone's rights are protected': UN on Kejriwal's arrest, freezing of Congress bank accounts

India TV News  

United Nations: The spokesperson for United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed a strong "hope" that in India, as well as in any country undergoing elections, the political and civil rights of people are "protected", ensuring that everyone can vote in an environment that is free and fair. The spokesperson for the Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, made these remarks on Thursday while responding to a question about the "political unrest" in India ahead of the upcoming national elections, following the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the freezing of the opposition Congress Party's bank accounts. The response from the United Nations comes a day after the US also reacted to a similar question regarding Kejriwal’s arrest and the freezing of the Congress party’s bank accounts. On Thursday, India said the US State Department's recent remarks on the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal are "unwarranted" and asserted the country is "proud of its independent and robust democratic institutions" and committed to protect them from any form of undue external influences. Any "external imputation" on India's electoral and legal processes is "completely unacceptable", MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in New Delhi during his weekly press briefing.
