US sees 'rise in human rights abuses' in India, top diplomat Blinken tells visiting Indian ministers, days after US Representative Ilhan Omar questioned Biden administration's reluctance to criticise PM Modi's rights records
"We are monitoring some recent concerning developments in India including a rise in human rights abuses by some government, police and prison officials," top US diplomat Blinken tells Indian foreign and defence ministers in Washington.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the United States is monitoring what he described as a rise in human rights abuses in India by some officials, in a rare direct rebuke by Washington of the South Asian nation's rights record. Blinken did not elaborate. Singh and Jaishankar, who spoke after Blinken at the briefing, did not comment on the human rights issue.
