The External Affairs Ministry of India has denounced the US State Department's Human Rights Report, labeling it "deeply biased" and asserting that the government attaches "no value" to its findings. The report cited "significant" abuses in Manipur, tax raids on the BBC, and the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal urged disregarding the report, emphasizing its alleged poor understanding of India. The report's mention of ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur and transnational repression incidents prompted the Indian government's dismissal.
