Flawed, motivated, biased: Govt rejects US religious freedom report that criticised India for 'attacks' on minorities

India on Tuesday outrightly rejected the US State Department's 2022 Report on International Religious Freedom, calling it flawed, motivated and biased. This is not the first time India has had a scathing report from the US regarding the state of minorities in the country. Responding to the report, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said in a statement on Tuesday, We are aware of the release of the US State Department 2022 Report on International Religious Freedom. Regrettably, such reports continue to be based on misinformation and flawed understanding.
