  "summary": "The United Nations Human Rights office expressed concern over reports of detentions during protests in New Delhi, particularly involving demonstrators, leaders, civil society members, lawyers, and journalists. India, however, rejected these concerns, describing them as \"misplaced\" and an \"unwarranted interference\" in its internal affairs. The Indian government emphasized that the right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed by the Constitution and protected by democratic institutions, an independent judiciary, and a free media. It urged the UN office to extend comparable attention to large-scale protests in other parts of the world to ensure impartiality and non-selectivity.",
