The UN had raised alarms about mass detentions of students, activists, lawyers, and journalists; but India’s MEA hit back, stressing its democracy guarantees peaceful assembly... with a catch: public order comes first. What’s interesting? India didn’t just deny wrongdoing; it flipped the script. The spokesperson pointed to what he called "extreme selectivity" by the UN; citing silence on crackdowns in Pakistan and France. That’s a clever diplomatic move: turning criticism into a credibility test for the critic. For job aspirants? Watch this space. Government exam questions often draw from current affairs with geopolitical angles. If you’re prepping for UPSC, CAPF, or state PSCs, this isn’t just news; it’s a potential question on India’s foreign policy stance, constitutional rights vs. public order, or UN-India relations. Key takeaway: "Peaceful protest is a right; but not at the cost of chaos." That line alone could be a 10-mark answer waiting to happen.
