India will not tolerate attempts to arm-twist US friendship

By giving a strong reply to America in the same tone in the case of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, India has told that interference of any country in India’s internal affairs will not be tolerated, even if they are friendly countries. By giving a strong reply, India also made America understand that any attempt to arm twist it under the guise of friendship can create a rift in the relations between the two countries.

Doing this may make a difference to India-America relations. After India summoned a senior US diplomat in protest over some comments made on Kejriwal’s arrest, Washington had reiterated that it encourages fair, transparent and timely legal processes. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller had said that I am not going to talk about any private diplomatic conversations, but of course, what we have said publicly, that is what I have said from here that we will be fair, transparent. ,Encourage timely legal processes. We don’t think anyone should have any objection to this. We will clarify this personally. State Department officials had summoned the acting deputy head of the US Embassy, ​​​​Gloria Barbena, calling the US State Department’s comments inappropriate, saying that it is proud of its independent and strong democratic institutions and does not allow them to be subjected to any kind of unnecessary outside influence. Committed to protecting from. The Foreign Ministry had summoned American diplomat Gloria Barbena in this matter. The ministry had said that the statement of the US State Department spokesperson on legal action in India is wrong. In diplomacy, it is expected that countries will respect each other’s internal issues and sovereignty. If two countries are democratic then this expectation increases further, otherwise a situation of chaos may arise. It is noteworthy that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Kejriwal in a money laundering case related to the excise policy scam.

On the second statement from America on the Kejriwal issue, the Foreign Ministry said that India has already expressed objection to America’s statement. His latest statement is undesirable. This cannot be accepted. On this issue, India gave a befitting reply to America as well as Germany. The Ministry of External Affairs said that the justice system in India is independent. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs summoned Georg Enzweiler, deputy chief of mission of the German Embassy in New Delhi. India lodged its strong protest terming the remarks of the German Foreign Ministry spokesperson as interference in India’s internal affairs. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement saying that we view such comments as interference in our judicial process and undermining the independence of our judiciary.

This is not the first time that India refused to listen to America. Earlier, in the case of America resident Khalistani terrorist Gurwant Singh Pannu, India had explained to America in a strict tone that anti-India actions will not be tolerated under any circumstances. America should not consider India’s friendship as weakness. US officials had accused two Indian citizens of being involved in a failed conspiracy to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. These allegations were made against Nikhil Gupta and an unnamed government official. America also claims that the same accused was also involved in planning the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The Justice Department had filed a charge sheet in the Manhattan court regarding this. India gave a befitting reply on this issue and accused America of carrying out anti-India activities from its soil.

Similarly, India had given a strong reply to Canada and America in the case of the murder of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. However, America did not intervene directly on this issue. Rejecting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations of getting Nijjar murdered, India had shown the way out to more than two dozen diplomats and made them aware of its changed foreign policy. Canada was stunned by such strict attitude of India. Tudo would not have imagined even in his dreams that India could adopt such an attitude. India had accused Canada of giving shelter to Khalistani terrorists. Canada could not prove the allegations of Nijjar’s murder against India. Canada had accused India of this only to get the Sikh vote bank.

Similarly, India had also criticized Turkey for interfering in internal affairs. India and Turkey once again came face to face on the issue of Kashmir. In the 55th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Turkiye raised questions about human rights in Kashmir and tried to corner India. However, under the Right to Reply, India’s first secretary in the United Nations Human Rights Council, Anupama Singh, while replying to Turkiye, said that we are saddened that Turkiye commented on India’s internal matter. Hopefully he will avoid such unnecessary statements in future. By the way, Turkey raising the issue of Kashmir is not the first incident. Turkey has sung the song of Kashmir many times before. India has responded to Turkey in the same way every time.

The surprising thing is that no one in the entire world is listening to America anymore. Israel also ignored America and flatly refused to establish a ceasefire with Hamas. Similarly, America’s policy in the matter of Ukraine war proved to be a failure. France clearly said that it will not become America’s henchman. The situation is such that instead of taking care of its own home, America is not desisting from creating trouble in other countries.

US President Joe Biden’s spokesman James Singer said in a statement that former President Donald Trump wants another 6. This statement comes after the statement given by Trump on Saturday, in which Trump had mentioned about bloodshed. Condemning this statement, the spokesperson stressed that the American people are going to give Trump another electoral defeat this November because they will continue to reject his extremism, love for violence and his thirst for revenge. . Donald Trump made the statement when he promised 100 percent tariff on cars made outside America. Addressing a rally near Dayton, Ohio, Trump said we’re going to put 100 percent tariffs on every single car that comes in line. If I am not elected, there will be bloodshed in the country. America has to understand that India is leading the Global South in the changed global circumstances. This is the reason why India is implementing its foreign policy under the policy of India First. America is forced to take India along with China. Only India has the capability to compete with China. Apart from this, trade relations between America and India are continuously increasing. In such a situation, India will not tolerate any kind of commentary by America or any other western country in domestic matters.
