The United States on Thursday dismissed Russia's claim of the US interfering in the ongoing Indian elections. Miller was responding to a question on Zakharova's statement when he dismissed the claim.

US rejected Russia's allegations on interfering with the ongoing general elections in India, saying that the country doesn't involve itself with polls.

Targeting the US for interfering in India's internal affairs, Russia has said that Washington is trying to "complicate" the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, including by making "regular unfounded accusations" on threats to religious freedom in the country.

Moscow claimed that Washington had been ‘groundlessly accusing’ New Delhi of violating its citizens’ religious freedoms.

Russia dismissed US accusations against India in the foiled assassination attempt of Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, criticizing Washington's lack of credible evidence and accusing it of disrespecting India.

"No, of course, we don't involve ourselves in elections in India," US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said refuting Russian allegations accusing America of meddling in the Lok Sabha polls.

The United States on Thursday dismissed the Russian allegations of the US interfering in the ongoing Indian elections. “No, of course, we don’t involve ourselves in elections in India as we don’t involve ourselves in elections anywhere in the world.

During a press briefing, Russian spokesperson Maria Zakharova said US did not understand ‘national mindset and historical context of development of the Indian state’.
