India Overreacted To Devyani's Arrest: U.S. Media
Washington: The American media, which demanded action by the Obama Administration when a junior consular staff was detained in Lahore for killing two men, has attacked the Indian government for siding with its diplomat after her arrest and ill-treatment.
"India is siding with a woman who was in the wrong, who lied, paid her help poorly and now is brazen enough to claim that she should not be treated like a criminal," said a column in The Washington Post on the arrest of Devyani Khobragade.
"What's 'deplorable', to use the prime minister's words, is not Khobragade's treatment, which was standard, but the fact that many in India aren't speaking out against the treatment of the nanny," said the column titled 'Why India is upset about Devyani Khobragade, and why it's wrong'. "India's reaction is disappointing...," it added.
The New York Times criticised the Indian government for its stand on Khobragade, the Deputy Consul General in New York, who was arrested last week for alleged visa fraud.
"India's overwrought reaction to the arrest of one of its diplomats in the US is unworthy of a democratic government," the Times said in an editorial.
