New Delhi : The double standards in US foreign and anti-drugs policy has been exposed. On Saturday, Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro was captured in a military-like operation and taken to the United States to face charges of drug trafficking. However, some time back, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was pardoned for the same crime. The US approach to the two leaders exposes the dichotomy.

However, while one was cast as an international criminal to be captured and prosecuted, the other was pardoned through presidential clemency. While absolving him in December, Trump described Hernández as a victim of political persecution. At the time, Trump had also remarked the former Honduran leader had been “treated very harshly and unfairly”. This contradictory stance and treatment has drawn huge flak not...
