  "account": "India has responded sharply to a recent statement from the United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) regarding reports of mass detentions of protesters and civil society members in Delhi. The UN body expressed concern over the demonstrations, but India's Foreign Ministry swiftly dismissed the criticisms.\n\nThe UN's remarks stated that while peaceful assembly is protected in India, there are \"reasonable restrictions\" in the interest of public order. India's government maintains it acts within the law and courts are available for grievances. The ministry's response emphasized that the OHCHR's concerns are \"misplaced\" and represent \"unwarranted interference\" in India's internal affairs.\n\nMoreover, India urged the OHCHR to apply similar scrutiny to large-scale protests globally, aligning with its mandate of impartiality and non-selectivity. The response was posted on the Indian Ministry of External Affairs' Twitter account, highlighting the country's stance amidst the developing situation.",
