Marco Rubio Calls Protests Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar an 'Internal Political Matter'

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio dismissed the protests against Election Commission member Gyanesh Kumar as an internal political matter. In a statement released on Tuesday, Rubio said the demonstrations were a domestic issue that should be handled within India.

He also rebuffed criticism from United Nations experts who had called for accountability, calling their remarks irrelevant to the situation. The protests, which have drawn attention from opposition parties, continue to stir debate over the conduct of the Election Commission.
