Washington:Refraining from commenting on the results of Lok Sabha polls, the United States has said that electoral matters are for the Indian people to decide and the US "celebrate the election that happened in India."
"The electoral matters are matters for the Indian people to decide. We celebrate the election that happened in India; it was the largest exercise of electoral franchise in any country anytime in history," the State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a regular press briefing on Thursday.
"But for specific results of that election, it's just not something we comment on," Miller added. His response came after a Pakistani reporter asked his reaction claiming, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to turn India into a Hindu state, resulting in other religions not feeling secure."
