India rejects comments made by UN Resident Coordinator over recent cases of violence against women

New Delhi has said that some comments made by the UN Resident Coordinator regarding some recent cases of violence against women are unwarranted.

 

In response to a media query  on the matter, Foreign office Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said, the UN Resident Coordinator in India should be aware that these cases have been taken extremely seriously by the



government.

 

Since the investigation process is still underway, any unnecessary comments by an external agency are best avoided.

 

The Spokesman said, the Constitution guarantees equality to all citizens of India and as a democracy the country has a time-tested record of providing justice to all sections of our society.
