Supporters of Indian authorities argue that external calls for investigation are political leverage, not neutral oversight, and that sovereignty means policing protests without outside interference.

Supporters of UN experts argue that scripture commands rulers to judge justly and defend the vulnerable, so they maintain that an independent investigation into alleged excessive force answers a moral and religious duty of accountability.
