USCIRF Raises Concerns Over Punjab Gurdwara Attacks

The USCIRF, a US government body that monitors religious freedom globally, has flagged the recent attacks on gurdwaras in Punjab as a cause for concern. The attacks have raised alarm bells about the safety and security of religious minorities in the state. While authorities have not released details about the specific incidents, the USCIRF's statement highlights the growing tension surrounding religious freedom in India. In one case, Punjab Police have attributed the attack to a personal dispute, suggesting that the incident was not motivated by religious bias. However, the USCIRF's statement emphasizes the need for a thorough investigation to ensure the safety and security of all religious communities in Punjab.
