US State Department 2023 religious freedom report: Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the US State Department report selectively picked incidents to advance a preconceived narrative
India has called the US State Department's report on religious freedom a "deeply biased" one that "is visibly driven by vote bank considerations and a prescriptive outlook".
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters the report also lacks an understanding of India's social fabric, and selectively picked incidents to advance a preconceived narrative as well.
"... As in the past, the report is deeply biased... The exercise (US report) itself is a mix of imputations, misrepresentations, selective usage of facts, reliance on biased sources, and a one-sided projection of issues," Mr Jaiswal said.
