India rejects criticism over Father Stan Swamy's death

India on Tuesday rejected mounting international criticism over the death of rights activist Father Stan Swamy, and said the due process of law was followed in his case and that the authorities act against violations of law and do not restrain legitimate exercise of rights. Asserting that India remains committed to the promotion and protection of human rights of all its citizens, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the country's democratic polity is complemented by an independent judiciary and a range of national and state-level human rights commissions.
