How does the Indian government view the balance between freedom of expression and responsibility in light of the pro-Palestine protests occurring at US universities?

The government affirmed its commitment to address any issues related to Indian students in the US, pledging to investigate and resolve them promptly.

In response to the ongoing pro-Palestine protests at prominent US universities, the Indian government emphasized the importance of striking a balance between freedom of expression and responsibility. Foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal underscored the significance of maintaining public safety and order while upholding democratic principles. Jaiswal reiterated the government's commitment to addressing any issues concerning Indian students studying in the US, emphasizing prompt resolution.

India advocates for a two-nation solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, supporting the establishment of a sovereign state of Palestine with recognized borders. Meanwhile, President Biden affirmed his support for free speech and debate on college campuses.

The protests, sparked by the escalating deaths in Gaza, have spread to multiple campuses, leading to arrests and disruptions. Jewish students have raised concerns about antisemitism, while protesters demand a ceasefire, an end to US military aid to Israel, and divestment from companies supporting the conflict.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the protests as "horrific," labeling them as led by "antisemitic mobs."
