‘Selective Narrative’: 275 Ex-Officials, Judges Slam USCIRF Over 'Disturbing' Report On India

Around 275 former judges, civil servants, diplomats, and military veterans have raised concerns over a recent USCIRF report, describing it as biased and lacking balance. In a joint statement, they questioned its methodology, saying such assessments should be based on long-term data, not selective accounts. Highlighting census trends, they said minority populations in India have remained stable or increased over time. The group also objected to the report’s criticism of Indian institutions and its recommendations, including sanctions related to the RSS. Calling India a robust democracy, they urged the US government to re-examine the report and review the credibility of its contributors.
