USCIRF Flags Vigilante Attacks on Sikh Gurdwaras, India Questions Claims
The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has claimed that Sikh gurdwaras in India have faced vigilante attacks, urging the US government to press India to hold perpetrators accountable and link security assistance to India's response. USCIRF officials highlighted attacks on various religious sites undermining freedom of religion. Indian authorities and police investigations, however, suggest some incidents stem from local disputes or internal conflicts, with India describing USCIRF as biased and lacking credibility. USCIRF's recommendations are non-binding on the US State Department.
