'Biased views, vote bank politics': India slams US report on attack on minorities
India Today
India has slammed a US report that claimed that attacks on minority communities in India occurred throughout 2021.
India has accused the US of 'vote bank politics in international relations' after a US State Department report alleged attacks on minority communities in India occurred throughout 2021.
Reacting sharply to the US report, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "We have noted the release of US State Department 2021 report on International Religious Freedom and ill-informed comments by senior US officials. It is unfortunate that vote bank politics is being practiced in international relations."
"We would urge that assessment based on motivated inputs and biased views be avoided," Bagchi added.
