Concerning increase in anti-conversion laws, hate speech in India: Blinken

The US State Department has released its 2023 religious freedom report, covering over 200 countries. Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed concern over the increase in hate speech, anti-conversion laws, and the demolition of homes and places of worship for minority groups in India. The report also mentions efforts to protect religious freedom globally. During the Lok Sabha poll campaigns, accusations of hate speech surfaced against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which were denied by the BJP. The report cites increased attacks on minority groups and challenges in protecting their rights. India has rejected the report, calling it biased and based on misinformation, yet emphasizes the importance of its partnership with the US and continued dialogue on these issues.
