India had condemned the U.S. Congresswoman's visit to PoK, saying her travel to the region violated the country's sovereignty
Continuing with her anti-India tirade, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has introduced a resolution that calls the U.S. Secretary of State to designate India as a country of particular concern for alleged violation of religious freedom.
Co-sponsored by Congresswomen Rashida Talib and Juan Vargas, the resolution urges the Biden administration to implement the recommendations of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom which has called for designating India as a country of particular concern for three consecutive years.
Introduced in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, the resolution has been sent to the House Foreign Affairs Committee for necessary action.
Ms. Omar, who visited Pakistan in last April and met top Pakistani leaders, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan, and travelled to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), is yet to disclose the nature, including the funding, of the visit.
