Reputed global Christian organization International Christian Concern (ICC) has named Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi among the world’s seven biggest persecutors of religious minorities.
In “2021 Persecutor of the Year Awards,” report, the ICC clubbed the “Sangh Parivar,” India’s Hindu extremist movement that informs Modi’s ideology and policies, with the Taliban and the Boko Haram, and named India as one of the world’s seven biggest persecutors.
The Modi administration had overseen “a massive cultural shift” in India from a pluralistic society to Hindu nationalism, and “consistently punished all forms of dissent,” cracking down on NGOs seeking to hold it accountable, the ICC report said.
“The U.S. and its allies should consider economic and visa sanctions against key decision-makers in the Modi administration,” the report said.
