India is not really concerned about a new potentially embarrassing release of classified US diplomatic documents by WikiLeaks but is certainly interested in finding out what the 4 million documents contain.
On whether US government has got in touch with India on the WikiLeaks, Krishna said, “We have been out of the country for the last three-four days. So I do not know whether anything has come from them. We have read in the media that the (fresh) WikiLeaks (documents) might appear very soon.”
Yesterday, the US had warned India and other key governments across the world about a new potentially embarrassing release of classified documents by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks which may harm the American interests and create tension in its ties with its “friends”.
Meanwhile, the US has refused to enter talks with the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks over its planned release of millions of classified documents and asked it to return the “illegally obtained” papers, the leak of which would “endanger the lives of countless individuals.”
“We will not engage in a negotiation regarding the further release or dissemination of illegally obtained US government’s classified materials,” Harold Hongju Koh, the Legal Adviser at the State Department, said in a letter to Jennifer Robinson, Attorney for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
