India takes exception to Crocker's remarks

New Delhi, Oct 5: India today took strong exception to the remarks made by US Ambassador to Pakistan Ryan Crocker, asking him to understand that democratic governments have the responsibility to keep their own people fully informed.

''We have seen the remarks attributed to Ambassador Crocker."

Coming from a democracy like United States, one would have expected Ambassador Crocker to understand that democratic governments have a primary responsibility to keep their own people fully informed,'' a spokesman of the External Affairs Ministry said in response to a question.

Mr Crocker had said that India should not talk about Mumbai bomb blasts in public but tackle the matter through diplomatic channels.
