In reply to the discussion: Indian official: Diplomat's arrest in NYC barbaric [View all]smitra
(290 posts)You are now shifting your ground and saying that your point was that "barricades" were removed. All the posts on this sub-thread, including the one that I posted quoting a spokesman of the Ministry of External Affairs, says, yes, they were removed. As another post on this sub-thread says, these barriers are placed at the discretion of the Government, to control traffic, and are not a NECESSITY to ensure safety. The spokesman says that the US Embassy has, and has always had, the security it needs as per Indian law.
I will take the word of the Ministry spokesman over the faux outrage of some uninformed DU member. And this incident has revealed the colossal ignorance, and - as cosmicone has commented - the 'denseness' of so many DU members.
