After the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by ED in the liquor scam, now the European country Germany has also jumped into this matter.
Germany's Foreign Ministry has said in a statement that the incident of Kejriwal's arrest has come to our notice. India is a democratic country and we expect that legal norms related to the independence of the judiciary and basic democratic principles will be implemented. in this matter.
The Ministry of External Affairs said that like any person facing charges, Kejriwal also has the right to a fair trial and is free to exercise all legal remedies without any restriction.
The statement of the German Foreign Ministry is surprising. Because Kejriwal's arrest is an internal matter of India. However, this is not the first time that Germany has reacted to India's internal matter. Even before when Rahul Gandhi was removed from the post of Member of Parliament, Germany said that Rahul Gandhi we hope that the principles of democracy will be applied equally in the adversarial proceedings and the judiciary will be allowed to function independently. Will go.
Germany has always been advocating the protection of human rights. Even during the war between Russia and Ukraine, Germany was one of the first countries to provide arms to Ukraine. In such a situation, interfering in the affairs of others is not a new thing for the German government.
