India criticizes US religious freedom report as biased and driven by political gain.

India has firmly rejected criticism against it in the recent US State Department report on international religious freedom. The External Affairs Ministry spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, has labeled the report as deeply biased and driven by vote-bank considerations. In his statement, Jaiswal stated that the report has cherry-picked incidents to fit a predetermined narrative against India.

During the release of the report, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed concern over the rise in anti-conversion laws, hate speech, and destruction of homes and places of worship belonging to minority faith communities in India. However, Jaiswal was quick to dismiss these remarks, stating that the report lacks an understanding of India's diverse social fabric and is heavily influenced by political agendas.

Jaiswal went on to reject the report in its entirety, claiming that it is a mixture of false accusations, misrepresentations, and biased sources. He also criticized the report for presenting a one-sided view of the issues in India. According to him, the report has not only selectively chosen incidents but has also questioned the legitimacy of certain laws and regulations in India.

Additionally, Jaiswal noted that the report seems to question the integrity of judgments made by Indian courts. This, he believes, is a direct attack on the country's judicial system. In conclusion, the spokesperson reaffirmed India's rejection of the report and urged the international community to view it with skepticism due to its clear biases and lack of understanding of India's cultural and social dynamics.
