India has rejected the US Commission on International Religious Freedom’s (USCIRF) report, which criticized India for alleged religious freedom abuses. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) dismissed the report as "biased" and claimed it promotes a "motivated narrative." The USCIRF's annual report recommended designating India as a "Country of Particular Concern" over alleged violations, including violence against religious minorities and destruction of homes and worship places. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal urged the USCIRF to "desist from agenda-driven efforts" and focus on human rights issues in the US instead.
