The United States is concerned by the detention of the leading opposition candidate for Delhi, Kejriwal, and it calls for a fair judicial process.
The high-profile arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for an alleged corruption case has attracted the international community’s attention, with the U.S. closely watching the matter.
The State Department spokesperson stated in the media that America keeps an eye on how Kejriwal’s arrest has been getting covered all over the AAP MLAs’ related cases.
However, the U.S. didn’t sideline the home political processes; Rathe,r, pronounced the “rule of law” based on democratic values and upheld an “impartial and transparent “governance.
The statements demonstrate increasing international attention, even suspicion, of Indian politics and the cases involving opposition figures. Critics say that AAP is being purposely targeted, complain about inefficient and costly comparisons, and note biased news inclinations in the security services.
Nonetheless, officials counter such accusations by ensuring that relevant legal processes are followed adequately. Besides, the issues remain highly controversial, with both sides rigidly set on their policy proposals.
The Kejriwal appearance in court and the AAP elections would not be very different than indicting democracy. However, international commentary could be a tool every AAP politician could use in the 2024 campaign.
