India has rejected the report by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom report, terming it as malicious. In response to media queries regarding Country Update on India in the USCIRF report, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal called USCIRF a biased organization with a political agenda which continues to misrepresent facts and peddles a motivated narrative about India. The spokesperson urged USCIRF to desist from such agenda-driven efforts and utilise its time more productively on addressing human rights issues in the United States.
