UN Expresses Hope for Fairness in India Amid Arvind Kejriwal’s Arrest

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ spokesperson expressed hopes for the protection of political and civil rights in India and any country undergoing elections, emphasizing the importance of a free and fair voting atmosphere. Stephane Dujarric made these remarks in response to concerns over political unrest in India ahead of the upcoming national elections, particularly following the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the freezing of the opposition Congress Party’s bank accounts.

The UN’s statement comes after similar concerns raised by the United States, which reiterated its support for fair and transparent legal processes. The US diplomat was summoned by India in protest against remarks regarding Kejriwal’s arrest.

In response to these diplomatic exchanges, India emphasized its commitment to its democratic institutions and denounced external interference in its electoral and legal processes. The Ministry of External Affairs asserted that India’s legal proceedings are conducted independently and based on the rule of law.

The Enforcement Directorate’s arrest of Kejriwal in connection to a money laundering case related to the excise policy ‘scam’ has stirred controversy, with India defending its legal processes against external criticism.
