India has rejected an annual report released by a US panel on religious freedom as “biased and politically motivated” after it highlighted the “deteriorating” treatment of religious minorities in the south Asian country.
The report released by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) urged the US to sanction Indian individuals and entities, including India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), over alleged plots to assassinate Sikh separatists abroad, marking an escalation in its accusations.
