India rejects UN human rights body's remarks on Delhi protests, accuses it of double standards
India has rejected observations made by a United Nations human rights body regarding protests in Delhi, arguing that the remarks reflect a double standard in how international mechanisms assess civil unrest.
The country's representatives stated that the UN body's comments lack consistency when compared to its approach toward similar demonstrations in other nations. India emphasized that peaceful protests are protected under its constitutional framework and that law enforcement actions were proportionate and lawful.
The rejection underscores India's broader position that international human rights assessments should apply uniform criteria across all countries without bias or selective scrutiny.
