India has made it very clear that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived in the US on a five-day visit, was "ring fenced" and there was no question of anyone serving any summons on him and that an action in the matter was being taken.
This strong reaction came a day after a federal US court issued summons against Modi on his alleged role in 2002 communal violence in Gujarat when he was the state chief minister.
Even the White House downplayed the issue, with its Press Secretary Josh Earnest saying that it (lawsuit) was not going to have any impact on Prime Minister Modi's very important visit and added that sitting heads of government also enjoy personal inviolability while in the US, which means they cannot be personally handed or delivered papers to begin the process of a lawsuit, agencies reported.
Asked about the summons, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said, "Indian representative is ring fenced. There is no question of anyone serving any summons on India's sovereign representative. Let's make it very clear, there will be no such issues. The State Department has also clarified today."
