The agreement has been given to America on the matter of Human Rights

Earlier on Wednesday, Jaishankar had responded with a sharp reaction to the US on Human Rights. He had clearly said that the issue of human rights was not a topic of discussion during the India-US 2+2 ministerial meeting. Taking a tough stand, Jaishankar had said that people are entitled to have an opinion about India.

We also share our views on the human rights situation of other people including America and we are concerned about the issue of human rights in America. The way people of the Sikh community are being attacked continuously in the US, is condemnable.
