In response to a query regarding the "political unrest" in india following delhi Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest and the freezing of Congress's bank accounts, the UN stated that it hoped that people's "political and civil rights" would be protected during elections in india and other countries.
 
At a press conference, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres's spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stated, "We very much hope that in india, as in any country that is having elections, that everyone's rights are protected, including political and civil rights, and everyone is able to vote in an atmosphere that is free and fair."

Days before the lok sabha elections, on march 21, arvind kejriwal was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the delhi liquor policy issue. Right now, the central probe agency is holding him.

The congress claimed that they were left without funds to contest the parliamentary election because the Income Tax Department had closed their bank accounts.
 
The UN's comments on the detention of the head of the aam aadmi party come after similar ones from germany and the US.
 
According to a US State Department official, they are "closely monitoring" Kejriwal's detention and supporting a "fair, transparent, and timely legal process". india lodged a protest over the remark and New delhi called in a top US ambassador. Shortly afterward, on Wednesday, the united states restated its position, advocating for prompt and transparent legal procedures.
