Reacting to the raging protests on American university campuses, India took a dig at the US government on “democracy”, an issue that Washington regularly uses to lecture the world. “Democracies, in particular, should display this understanding in regard to other fellow democracies,” the Ministry of External Affairs spokesman said on Thursday.
The spokesperson said there has to be a right balance between freedom of expression, a sense of responsibility, and public safety in every democracy.
“Democracies in particular should display this understanding in regard to other fellow democracies,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday.
Over 2,100 students have been arrested as students set up encampments and defied deadlines to vacate the foregrounds of top American university campuses.
However, the MEA said no Indian student or their family had approached the consulates in US seeking assistance regarding any disciplinary action for participation in the protests.
