Devyani Khobragade, we apologize |
India's Deputy Consul in New York City, Devyani Khobragade, was arrested last Thursday as she dropped her daughter off at school. According to the Independent, Khobragade was handcuffed, strip-searched and kept in a cell with drug addicts before posting $250,000 bail. She is accused of falsifying visa statements for her low-paid housekeeper.

Khobragade's treatment has caused outrage in India. "It's despicable and barbaric," stated India's National Security Advisor, Shavishankar Menon. Others have gone further, with a senior member of India's opposition party calling for a round-up of U.S. diplomats' gay "companions".

“My suggestion to the government of India is, the media has reported that we have issued visas to a number of US diplomats' companions. Companions means that they are of the same sex," said Yashwant Sinha of the Bharatiya Janata Party. “Now, after the Supreme Court ruling," he continued, "it is completely illegal in our country. Just as paying less wages was illegal in the US. So, why doesn’t the government of India go ahead and arrest all of them?”
The LSP news team offers a sincere apology on behalf of the United States to Ms. Khobragade and the people of India, whom we congratulate for standing bravely against the pansexualist NWO agenda.
