US Religious Freedom Panel Urges Sanctions Against India's RSS Ahead of New York Rally

The US Commission on International Religious Freedom urged the US government to consider targeted sanctions against RSS members and Indian officials it says are complicit in religious freedom violations. The call came ahead of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's August 29 rally at Madison Square Garden, part of a centenary tour across the US, Canada, and the UK. New Delhi dismissed critics as anti-Hindu.
