US Urges Fair Process for Frozen Indian Congress Accounts

The United States emphasizes its stance on advocating for fair and transparent legal processes in response to India's objections over comments regarding the arrest of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, amidst rising diplomatic tensions. Washington's comments came after India summoned a senior US diplomat to express its discontent over remarks perceived as intrusive into its internal affairs, highlighting concerns over the sovereignty and independence of India's judiciary. The diplomatic row revolves around the arrest of Kejriwal and allegations against the Indian tax authorities for freezing the Congress party's bank accounts, with the US and Germany expressing expectations for a fair trial and adherence to democratic principles while India stands firm on its judicial independence.
