A senior official said on Monday that Washington has brought up the subject of human rights with India and will do so in the future. Washington also continues to oppose the persecution of religious groups in the nation.
He was responding to a query regarding the purported persecution of Christians in India as a result of their anti-conversion laws, in response to an article in the Christian non-profit Voice of the Martyrs that referred to India as being “hostile” to Christians.
Human rights issues
According to US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller, the US often discusses human rights issues with nations it does business with, including India. The US also plans to do so in the future.
We have been very clear that we reject the persecution of Christians as well as the persecution of any religious group, no matter where it occurs in the world, Miller added.
- Washington addresses human rights, and religious persecution in India.
- US frequently addresses human rights issues with India and plans future discussions.
- Biden visits India to discuss Christian persecution.
Following US Vice President Joe Biden‘s planned three-day visit to Delhi, the subject has been raised. For the G20 Summit, Biden will travel to the nation’s capital on September 7.
Reports about President Biden’s planned visit to India and Christian persecution in India may be found at Persecution.com. Due to India’s anti-conversion laws, Prime Minister Modi has failed to protect Christians, thus President Biden will question him about Christian persecution.
The US has voiced concerns about human rights in its interactions with other nations, notably India. They have repeatedly stated from the podium that they condemn the persecution of religious organizations, as does President Biden. No matter where in the world a religious group is persecuted, the US has made it abundantly clear that they do not support this practice.
