The meeting happened following comments from a US State Department spokesperson about monitoring reports on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest, emphasizing the need for a fair legal process. The comments from the US State Department followed shortly after Germany’s Foreign Office emphasized that Mr. Kejriwal, like any other Indian citizen facing charges, deserves a fair and impartial trial.

The Indian government responded firmly, summoning the German envoy and condemning the Foreign Office spokesperson’s statement as “blatant interference in internal matters.” The Ministry of External Affairs asserted that such remarks are viewed as interference in the country’s judicial process and undermine judicial independence, labeling biased assumptions as unjustified.

Arvind Kejriwal was arrested last week by the Enforcement Directorate over the liquor policy scandal, stirring up turmoil within his AAP party and drawing furious protests from the opposition ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election. He has been sent to jail until March 28th this week.
