The IRF Community, Indian American Muslim Council, and Hindus for Human Rights circulated a letter expressing strong disapproval of the Biden administration's consideration of hosting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a state visit, citing his history of undermining democratic norms and civil liberties. The signatories highlight Modi's alleged complicity in the 2002 Gujarat violence, suppression of free speech, and escalating religious persecution under his leadership. The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) are criticized for institutionalizing discrimination against Muslims, exacerbating communal divides, and enabling violence. Reports from international organizations like USCIRF, Freedom House, and Reporters Without Borders underscore India's democratic backsliding, press suppression, and rising human rights abuses. The letter details incidents of violence, hate speech, and discriminatory policies targeting Muslims, Christians, and other minorities, emphasizing Modi’s tacit approval of extremist rhetoric and actions by his party affiliates. The authors warn that a state visit would legitimize Modi's authoritarian tendencies and embolden Hindu extremism, both in India and among its diaspora in the U.S. They call on President Biden to denounce Modi’s authoritarianism, comparing it to the administration’s condemnation of China’s treatment of Uyghurs, and urge him to withdraw the invitation for a state visit.
