In the first government response on the death of 84-year-old Stan Swamy, the External Affairs Ministry said on Tuesday that action is taken against "violations of law and not against legitimate exercise of rights" in India. The MEA also explained that Swamy was receiving all possible medical attention in a private hospital on the directions of the court and he died because of medical complications.
