US remarks on arrest of opposition coalition leader before India general election sparks backlash and interference in internal affairs. U.S.
State Department Spokesperson Miller stated that they were closely monitoring the situation. India's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly objected, saying it was interference in its internal affairs, and issued a protest statement. The Modi government denies any political involvement, but the opposition parties are criticizing it as a stranglehold on the opposition ahead of the general election. We are calling for a protest demonstration. I put it out.
