New delhi: A US report has recommended designating India as a country of special concern due to religious prejudice and serious violations of religious freedom.

According to Radio Pakistan, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, in its recently released report, has exposed religious discrimination in India and extremist policies of RSS and BJP’s Hindutva agenda. The report revealed that Modi and the BJP have implemented discriminatory policies against minorities in line with the Hindutva ideology. It added that the BJP, as the political wing of the RSS, promotes Hindu nationalism.

The report further noted that the RSS has been involved for decades in violent acts against minorities, particularly Muslims and Sikhs. In 2024, Modi inaugurated the Ram Mandir at the site of the Babri Mosque, which sparked controversy. It highlighted that Modi, Amit Shah, and several other high-profile BJP leaders continue to follow the policies of the RSS.

Additionally, the report stated that the BJP’s discriminatory policies include the abrogation of Kashmir’s special status, the construction of the Ram Mandir, and the push for a Uniform Civil Code. It said that financial, anti-terrorism, and immigration laws are also used against religious minorities. In Modi’s so-called secular India, Muslims and other minorities continue to face oppression, brutality, and systematic exploitation.
