Violation of religious freedom in Pak by govt; in India, much of it's communal violence: US diplomat December 08, 2020 at 08:42PM

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday designated Pakistan and China along with eight other countries that are of particular concern for engaging in or tolerating "systematic, ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom." The US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) had recommended to the State Department to designate India also as a country of particular concern (CPC). Notably, the State Department did not accept the recommendation.
