Double Standard Of US in Diplomatic matters

US Embassy, New Delhi

It has been noticed in the recent past that the behaviour of US in diplomatic matters is a blatant misconduct of normal practice agreed by all the nations under Vienna Convention. All the nations agreed that foreign diplomats will get full immunity against law of the land where they are posted. This practice is followed by most of the nations on most of the occasions. But the recent episode of Indian diplomat Devyani is not only unfortunate but a clear cut violation of rules and regulations agreed upon.

Perhaps US doesn't realise the economic and political implications of this issue. If India takes a strong position in this matter then the US economy has to face serious consequences as India is a major buyer of its weapons. Being a large trade partner, any tussle in this matter will affect both the economies badly.
Secondly, why are some US officials taking so much interest in Sangeeta Richard's matters when her service agreement can not be governed by US rules as payment made by US embassy in India can't be forced to follow Indian rules.
