Amid allegations by a Congress spokesman that US was behind Anna Hazare's agitation, US Senator John McCain today said America neither gets involved in such agitation nor has any intention of doing so. He also described Indian democracy as strong and successful which will be able to address the current domestic disputes and conflicts, saying the current protests were expression of a democratic system, which may not be one of the most pleasant experiences. The US does not involve itself in what is taking place in the world's largest democracy and neither has it had intention.
McCain told a press conference when asked about speculation that he cancelled his political appointments following the comments by Congress spokesman Rashid Alvi suggesting the US was behind Anna Hazare's agitation.
Referring to a remark by US state Department spokesperson urging India to allow peaceful protest, Alvi had on Wednesday alleged that it is for the first time that the US has said something like this and put pressure on the Government to allow Ana to rum his movement. This has never happened earlier. And according to him this is a big question on which we have to think and discuss seriously.
McCain said people can have their views but there was only one set of facts.
