The US' response comes days after Germany's Foreign Office stressed Arvind Kejriwal, like any other citizen facing charges, is entitled to a fair and impartial trial.
The United States government is monitoring reports of Arvind Kejriwal's arrest and has encouraged its Indian counterpart to ensure "a fair, transparent, and timely legal process" for the jailed Delhi Chief Minister and opposition leader, a State Department spokesperson told Reuters this week.
The US' response comes days after Germany's Foreign Office stressed that Mr Kejriwal, like any other Indian citizen facing charges, was entitled to a fair and impartial trial.
"We assume and expect that standards relating to independence of judiciary and basic democratic principles will also be applied in this case," a German government spokesperson said Friday.
