India Overreacted To Devyani's Arrest: U.S. Media
"Officials in New Delhi have inflamed anti-American outrage instead of calling for justice, especially for the domestic worker who is at the heart of the case." "Instead of concerning themselves with that injustice, many in India seem incensed that Ms Khobragade was arrested at all," the editorial said.
However, the daily had two years ago accused the US Administration of not doing enough to bring back consular staff Raymond Davis from Pakistan after he was arrested for shooting down two men in broad daylight in Lahore.
It further said the charges brought against Khobragade by Preet Bharara, the US attorney in Manhattan, should concern anyone who values worker rights.
The editorial titled 'India's Misplaced Outrage' claimed even more disturbing was the fact that Indian officials would take extreme steps to retaliate for the arrest, such as removing security barriers at the US Embassy in New Delhi.
"Despite the way many Indians seem to view the case, it is not a challenge to India's honour. It is a charge against one diplomat accused of submitting false documents to evade the law. Ms Khobragade's lawyer said she would plead not guilty and challenge the arrest on the grounds of diplomatic immunity, which prosecutors say does not apply in this case," the daily said.
