India’s US ambassador blasts Jayapal’s statement on voter rolls purge

India's US ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra called Rep. Pramila Jayapal's remarks on protests over voter list revisions an "unacceptable interference in India's internal affairs." Kwatra emphasized India's status as a vibrant democracy with robust constitutional institutions and a record of free and fair elections. The dispute follows nationwide voter list changes that sparked protests.
