Indian government denies to permit visa to US religious commission

Washington: A three member delegation of US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) wanted to visit India to discuss and report on the condition of religious freedom in the country. But Indian government denied to permit visa to them. USCIRF scheduled to make one week visit starting from Friday to meet with government officials, religious leaders and activists in India.

We are deeply disappointed by the Indian government’s denial, in effect , of these visas, “said Robert P George , chairmen of USCIRF in a statement” he further added “as a pluralistic, non-sectarian, and democratic state, and a close partner of United State, India should have the confidence to allow our visit”.

George said "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".
