India has brushed off recent claims from the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) about attacks on Sikh gurdwaras, calling the accusations "blatantly political."
The Indian government questioned why USCIRF stays quiet about issues faced by Indians and their places of worship in the US hinting at a double standard.

Officials remain firm in rejecting USCIRF's stance.
