US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said that we will keep a close eye on these actions, including the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Miller was responding to a question during a press conference organized by the State Department on India's summoning of Acting Vice President of the US Embassy in New Delhi, Gloria Barbena, as well as freezing of the Congress Party's bank accounts.

Miller said that we are also aware of the allegations by the Congress Party that the tax authorities have frozen some of their bank accounts in such a way that it will be challenging to campaign effectively in the upcoming elections. The United States encourages fair, transparent, and timely legal processes on all issues. He said he is not talking about any private diplomatic talks but he certainly encourages fair, transparent and timely legal processes. While talking to the agency, he said that no one should have any objection on this.
