Giving knowledge on human rights to India from the US has backfired and it has been asked by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has given a befitting reply. On behalf of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, it was said that we are keeping an eye on the cases of human rights abuses in India. On this, Jaishankar retaliated sharply and said that anyone has the right to express his opinion on us, but so is our right. We are also concerned about human rights matters in America, especially the people of the Indian community. Meanwhile, big information has come to the fore that the US Commission wanted to keep India on the Red List on the issue of human rights. However, this was not agreed upon.

 

According to the Tribune report, the United States Commission on Religious Freedom had consistently recommended to the US State Department for the past two years that India be put on the Red List on the issue of human rights. However, this was rejected by the US State Department. China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia have been on the red list in terms of human rights. But the US State Department refused to do so. Now on April 25, the US Commission is going to issue such a list again. Earlier, the American Civil Rights Group has written a letter to the commission, demanding to keep India on the Red List.

 

The rights group wrote in its letter, 'It is clear that those trying to cover up the truth of India are once again lobbying. Their goal is to prevent the US Commission from placing India in the category of 'Country of Particular Concern' for the third time in a row. The group said that we have also received information that the members of the commission are being influenced so the name of PM Narendra Modi is not included in the report. Let us inform you that on Wednesday, the External Affairs Minister of India, Jaishankar had called a press conference in Washington. During this, he strongly counterattacked the opinion of the US Secretary of State.
