‘Unwarranted, unacceptable interference’: India rejects UN concerns over crackdown on Delhi protesters

India has rejected UN concerns over its crackdown on protesters in Delhi, calling them 'unwarranted and unacceptable'.

The UN Human Rights Office had expressed concern over the use of force against protesters and the arrest of over 150 people.

India's Ministry of External Affairs dismissed the UN's comments, saying they were 'factually incorrect and unwarranted'.

The protests in Delhi began in December against a new citizenship law and have since turned violent, with at least 20 people killed.

The news score is 7 on Axis A (global) as it involves a major political decision and international concern.
