India rejected the US State Department report on international religious freedom and said it was based on misinformation and flawed understanding. “We are aware of the release of the US State Department 2022 Report on International Religious Freedom. Regrettably, such reports continue to be based on misinformation and flawed understanding,” MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said. He further said that the report is motivated and biased commentary by some US officials which only serves to undermine further the credibility of these reports.
