Last Thursday night in a briefing, Ned Price, US State Department Spokesperson condemned the disrespectful act. He said, ?This is something that we?ve condemned. We condemn the offensive comments made by two BJP officials, and we were glad to see that the party publicly condemned those comments?. Further, he said that the US government is active in raising human rights issues and had urged India to respect human rights.
Also, Price added that human dignity, human respect, equality of opportunity, and the freedom of religion or belief are the fundamental tenets of any democracy.
