India slams USCIRF's religious freedom report as biased and political. Rejecting the findings, India criticizes USCIRF's alleged anti-India propaganda. The USCIRF recommended designating India among 17 countries for severe violations of religious freedom. India asserts USCIRF's lack of understanding of its diverse, pluralistic ethos. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson condemns USCIRF's interference, stating it won't succeed. The report accuses India's BJP-led government of discriminatory policies and perpetuating hateful rhetoric. It cites instances like Manipur and Haryana violence, and detentions in Kashmir post-Article 370 abrogation. India dismisses USCIRF's claims, asserting sovereignty and democratic values.
