Tulsi Gabbard Statement on Arrest of Indian Diplomat | 2013-12-19 | 2013 | 2013-12 | Democrat | House | HI | Tulsi Gabbard | G000571 | web.archive.org | legacy | Washington, DC – U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) today released the following statement regarding the Dec. 12 arrest of Indian Deputy Consul General Devyani Khobragade: “Diplomats play a vital role in our ever-shrinking globalized world. And among America’s partnerships, the importance of our alliance with India cannot be overstated. This is why I was disappointed to hear initial reports about the treatment of Devyani Khobragade, India’s Deputy Consul General in New York. While we must ensure our laws are being followed by all those who reside in or visit our country, it is also essential that foreign diplomats in the U.S. are treated with dignity, respect and sensitivity, as we expect the same for our own diplomats abroad. “Our relationship with India is deeply valued, and the progress we are making on economic, political and security issues is key in Asia and the Pacific region. I urge the State Department to work with its counterparts in India to ensure our relationship remains strong and to ensure our law enforcement agencies put appropriate protocols in place for these situations.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
