The US Commission on International Religious Freedom, in its latest report, has expressed grave concern over the persecution of minorities in India.

The Commission highlighted the BJP government's fanatical policies against minorities, which have promoted religious hatred.

It said Modi government has failed to stop communal violence in the country and has also deprived minorities of their right to vote.

The report says incidents of lynching of Muslims and the demolition of mosques have continued in India over the past years.
