IACC seeks unconditional apology from US

Diplomat row IACC seeks unconditional apology from USMUMBAI: The Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (AICC) has strongly objected to the “humiliating treatment” meted out to Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade by the US law enforcement agencies.

“The Chamber considers the action unacceptable and feels that the US government should tender an unconditional apology for the humiliation of the diplomat,” said Nanik Rupani, president of Chamber’s West India Council, in a statement in the western Indian city.

“The action is unwarranted considering the stature of the person involved. She certainly deserves better treatment and courtesies,” the statement added.

IACC is a non-government, industry led and industry-managed organization for promoting commercial relations between the two countries.

“An unconditional apology would help carry forward the strong commercial ties that the two countries have developed and are in the process of enhancing,” added the statement. –PTI
