India asserted that the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) should be designated an "entity of concern" as it rejected its report suggesting minorities were facing deteriorating treatment in the country.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the latest USCIRF report continues its pattern of issuing "biased and politically motivated assessments".
