India has rebuked UK MPs for criticising its handling of long-running farmers’ protests in Delhi.
In a statement, India’s High Commission in London said, the parliamentary discussion was full of ‘false assertions’. It regretted that rather than a balanced debate, false assertions – without substantiation or facts – were made, casting aspersions on the largest functioning democracy in the world and its institutions. It added, when aspersions are cast on India by anyone, irrespective of their claims of friendship and love for India or domestic political compulsions, there is a need to set the record straight.
Yesterday’s debate in the UK Parliament followed a recent report on global political rights and liberties that changed India’s status from a free country to a ‘partly free’.
