USCRIF has no locus standi to sit in judgment over the constitutional rights of Indian citizens.
Its habitual partisan, ill-informed, and jaundiced assessments cannot diminish India’s constitutional commitment to religious freedom and equal rights for all faiths.
India flourishes defying the agenda-driven partisan narratives of the USCIRF.
Taking the same liberty that USCIRF so readily assumes, a word of advice: introspect on your own prejudices and stop lecturing others.

🏏 “He’s 100 per cent wrong.” Pat Cummins has strongly disputed Usman Khawaja’s claim that the entire Australian team knew about the ball tampering in Cape Town in 2018.
Responding to claims in Khawaja’s new autobiography, the Australian captain said he had no idea sandpaper was being taken onto the field.
Eight years on, the two former teammates are publicly at odds over who knew what.
