Chief US diplomat for South Asian affairs, Alice Wells, in a mildly worded statement on Thursday urged those behind the recent communal unrest in India’s capital to “refrain from violence”.
In a tweet, she said: “Our hearts go out to the families of the deceased and injured in New Delhi.
We echo PM @NarendraModi’s call for calm and normalcy and urge all parties to maintain peace, refrain from violence, and respect the right of peaceful assembly.”
