India has strongly refuted a recent report by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), labeling the organization as biased and politically driven.
The report accused India of religious freedom violations and suggested the US State Department categorize India as a 'Country of Particular Concern' regarding these freedoms.
In response, India's Ministry of External Affairs urged the USCIRF to prioritize addressing US human rights concerns while rejecting the report as a means to discredit the commission itself.
