Hindu Group Queries Kamala Harris's Ties with Pakistani-American Official

A Hindu political group in the US has expressed concerns over Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris's connections with Asif Mahmood, a Pakistani-American USCIRF commissioner. The group questions Harris's potential policies on sensitive issues like Kashmir, citing Mahmood's ties to Pakistan's political elite.

A Hindu political group in the United States is raising questions about Kamala Harris's associations with a member of the US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) amid the 2024 presidential race.

Utsav Sanduja, leader of Hindus for America First, expressed concern after a USCIRF report criticized India's religious freedom conditions. The report was dismissed by India as "malicious."

Sanduja highlighted Harris's connection with Asif Mahmood, a Pakistani-American, alleging it influences her stance on Kashmir. His group subsequently endorsed Donald Trump for the upcoming election.
