"Hope Everyone Can Vote Freely & Fairly"

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' spokesperson expressed optimism about protecting political and civil rights and ensuring free and fair elections in India and other nations undergoing electoral processes. Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson, made these comments on Thursday in response to concerns about political unrest in India ahead of the national elections, following the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the freezing of the opposition Congress Party's bank accounts.
