"In every democracy, there has to be the right balance between freedom of expression, sense of responsibility, and public safety and order. Democracies, in particular, should display this understanding in regard to other fellow democracies. After all, we are all judged by what we do at home and not what we say abroad."

Jaiswal further emphasized, "Neither the Embassy nor any Consulate has been approached by Indian students or their family seeking assistance regarding any disciplinary action for participation in protests in the universities. We expect all our citizens at home and abroad to respect local laws and regulations."
