‘Biased Characterization Of India’: MEA Slams USCIRF Report Seeking Sanctions On RSS, R&AW

The Ministry of External Affairs has rejected the 2026 report of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, which recommended sanctions against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and India’s external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing over alleged violations of religious freedom.

He added that such repeated claims weaken the credibility of the commission itself. Jaiswal also urged the body to reflect on incidents in the United States, including vandalism of Hindu temples and intimidation faced by members of the Indian diaspora. The report had designated India as a “country of particular concern” over religious freedom issues.
