The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has dismissed a report by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) as unfounded. The report recommends sanctions on India's RSS and RAW, alleging a lack of objective facts and credible sources.

The Indian government rejected the report, asserting that it is based on non-credible sources. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra criticized the Congress party for allegedly supporting the U.S. agency's findings, equating this stance to opposing India.

Patra further accused the Congress of endorsing the report under the influence of Rahul Gandhi, suggesting foreign interference and bias against India. The BJP remains firm against any external authority dictating terms to India.
