India envoy slams USCIRF over Sharjeel Imam remarks

India's US Ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra sharply rebuked the USCIRF after it described jailed activist Sharjeel Imam as detained for 'religious freedom advocacy.' Kwatra said the commission has 'no locus standi' to judge constitutional rights of Indian citizens, calling its assessments 'partisan, ill-informed, and jaundiced,' and advised it to 'introspect on your own prejudices.'
