NEW DELHI, 07 December 2022, (TON): India, the world's largest democracy, is home to a great diversity of faiths, the United States said Tuesday noting that it will continue to encourage New Delhi to uphold its commitments to protect religious freedom for all.
The United States has designated 12 countries, including China, Pakistan and Myanmar, as "countries of particular concern" for the current status of religious freedom in these nations.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said “around the world, governments and non-state actors harass, threaten, jail, and even kill individuals on account of their beliefs.”
State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters "India of course, is the world's largest democracy. It's home to a great diversity of faiths. Our annual report on international religious freedom outlines some of the concerns we've taken note of when it comes to India.”
