New Delhi terms comments on India by US Commission on International Religious Freedom as biased and inaccurate

New Delhi today termed the comments on India by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom as biased and inaccurate. In reply to media queries,  External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said these comments reflect a severe lack of understanding of India and its constitutional framework, its plurality and its democratic ethos.

He said regrettably, USCIRF continues to misrepresent facts time and again in its statements and reports in pursuance of its motivated agenda. The spokesperson stressed that such actions only serve to strengthen concerns about the credibility and objectivity of the organization.
