Garcetti, the US ambassador to India, ensures health for American students studying in America.
Eric Garcetti, the US embassy to India, said on Friday that “nobody may feel threatened,” and that opinions should be expressed in a “peaceful” way.
” It’s the time, you know, having a lot of conflict in the world. And we in America believe thoughts may be expressed, but nothing really feel threatened. If something crosses the threshold of a person feeling threatened by themselves. That’s everything that’s intolerable, and there will be effects”, Envoy Garcetti told ANI.
” At the same time, individuals do have that right to express their thoughts, their differences in a calm manner, in a way where we can agree to disagree, believe, or we can honor each other’s different ideas. And that’s, I think, the purpose for all of us”, he added.
