"I don't think it's about strategic concerns, it's about human concerns. You don't have to be an Indian to care when children or individuals die in this sort of violence," Eric Garcetti said
US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti on Thursday said his country is "ready to assist" India in dealing with the violence in Manipur, "if asked".
"I don't think it's about strategic concerns, it's about human concerns. You don't have to be an Indian to care when children or individuals die in this sort of violence," Mr Garcetti said in response to a question on whether the US was concerned about the violence in Manipur.
"We stand ready to assist in any ways if asked. We know it's an Indian matter and we pray for that peace and that it may come quickly," he said.
