India has taken a subtle dig at the US government's handling of democracy, amid ongoing protests on American university campuses. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson emphasized the need for balance between freedom of expression, responsibility, and public safety in democracies. Over 2,100 students have been arrested in the US for participating in protests. India urged its citizens to respect local laws, but noted no Indian students sought assistance related to the protests. The comments are seen as a veiled critique of the US government's approach to democratic values, turning the tables on Washington's frequent lectures on democracy.
