The Narendra Modi government of the center has suppressed the peaceful protests regarding the SIR and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar! Human rights experts of the United Nations have demanded an impartial investigation in this matter. However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio refuted such allegations. While not commenting on India's internal affairs, he said UN experts are 'self-contradictory'. What exactly do you mean Rubio?
In the past few weeks, the Ministry of Home Affairs deployed 26,000 paramilitary forces in Delhi to quell the movement of opposition parties including the Youth Party CJP, Congress. Delhi Police also played an aggressive role. Law enforcers have allegedly lathi-charged Zen G's peaceful protests on several occasions. Metro, internet services of the capital were stopped to stop the movement. Many agitators were detained and arrested. 20 human rights experts of the United Nations have demanded an investigation into the government's 'repression'. Rubio disagrees with them.
The statement of the US Secretary of State in this regard, he will not give an opinion on the internal political affairs of India. But political differences and people expressing themselves are part of the democratic process. “(India) is a democracy. Elections are held there. So I will not give any opinion on their internal political affairs,” he said. There is a difference between peaceful protests and violent unrest, Rubio said, adding that “public expression of dissent is a hallmark of a democratic society.” He also said that he is not talking about India specifically.
“The kind of riots that we're seeing in Europe — where people are vandalizing, breaking into places and burning buildings. I'm not talking about those,” Rubio said. He then added, “The fact that people are voicing their opinions — I'm not just talking about India, this applies to any country in the world. It shows that there are political discussions and debates in that country and there are differences of opinion.” In effect, the US Secretary of State took the position of 'holding fish and not touching water'.
