India has denied visa to members of a US commission on religious freedom who wanted to discuss and assess “deteriorating” religious freedom conditions in India. “We are deeply disappointed by the Indian government’s denial, in effect, of these visas,” Robert P George, chairman of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), said in a statement.

“As a pluralistic, non-sectarian, and democratic state, and a close partner of the United States, India should have the confidence to allow our visit,” he said. “USCIRF will continue to pursue a visit to India, given the ongoing reports from religious communities, civil society groups, and NGOs that the conditions for religious freedom in India have been deteriorating since 2014,” George said.

USCIRF is an independent, bipartisan US federal government commission with commissioners appointed by the President and the leaders in both Houses of Congress.

USCIRF’s principal responsibilities include reviewing, through the lens of international human rights law, the facts and circumstances of violations of religious freedom internationally and making policy recommendations to the US President, Secretary of State and Congress.

“One would expect that the Indian government would allow for more transparency than have these nations, and would welcome the opportunity to convey its views directly to USCIRF,” George said.

“USCIRF will continue to pursue a visit to India, given the ongoing reports from religious communities, civil society groups, and NGOs that the conditions for religious freedom in India have been deteriorating since 2014,” George said.

USCIRF is just a group of Christian missionaries who are trying to find out ways to spread soul harvesting in the name of religious freedom. There are no member from any of the other religions and the commission is biased. Moreover, even without visiting India, they have come to the conclusion that India is intolerant after the present government came to power in 2014.

The government has taken the right decision by denying visas to these soul harvesting vultures. The commission has not talked about the religious and racist terrors happening in their country, the USA. The commission is in the guise of converting people through coercion, kind, forcefully, wrongly and cheatingly. They just want to create a ruckus on religious freedom and pave way for soul harvesting.
