US concerned about ‘rising intolerance, violence’ in India

[CHD]

State Department urges New Delhi to do everything to protect citizens and to hold the perpetrators accountable.
The United States has expressed concern over reports of “rising intolerance and violence” in India, and asked the Indian government to do “everything in its power” to protect citizens and to bring to justice the perpetrators.

Responding to questions on reports of alleged violence against people eating beef and assault on two women carrying buffalo meat in Madhya Pradesh, State Department spokesman John Kirby said, “We stand in solidarity with the people and Government of India in supporting exercise of freedom of religion and expression and in confronting all forms of intolerance.”

“We’re obviously concerned by reports of rising intolerance and violence... As we do in countries facing such problems around the world, we urge the government to do everything in its power to protect citizens and to hold the perpetrators accountable,” he said.

Mr. Kirby said the U.S. looks forward to continuing to work with the Indian people to realise their tolerant, inclusive vision, which is so deeply in the interests of both India and the U.S.

In an instance of cow vigilantism earlier this week, two Muslim women who were carrying buffalo meat were assaulted by people at a railway station in Mandsaur on suspicion that it was beef in the presence of police, who arrested the duo.

The incident came close on the heels of the attack on Dalit youths in Gujarat by cow vigilantes for skinning a dead cow.

Intolerance ,violence ,exchanges both good and bad between Indians and their govt is none of the US business.
Noone in India asked them to protect their black citizens and noone mentioned to them about Ferguson shooting or crimes against black people .

US is well advised to control free gun culture in there own country and start issuing license for weapons issued to civilians instead of meddling in India's internal affairs. If intolerance has increased in India beyond control then its for society here to tame it

yeah sure no problems Uncle Sam, Tell your countrymen to stop with the killings of civilians and Law enforcement officers. Ban all automatic guns and rifles and get rid of the NRA to start with!! Preach what you practice you fools... Hilary or Trump The USA is screwed beyond comprehension.

To the Trolls who are going to side with american for their own benefits, a word of advice to steer clear of your complacency to exhibit your #doublestandards to suit your convenience.

Dear Indian friends,

Best regards
