Waging war against a country is 'religious freedom'? USCIRF gives a clean chit to Sharjeel Imam

Poking its unwanted nose into everyone else's personal business while playing the perennial hypocrite is practically a full-time hobby for the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). This time, dutifully dancing to the tune of its political masters like a well-trained puppet, this self-righteous body has decided to whitewash the record of a radical terrorist Sarjeel Imam's crime and described him as a harmless soul detained for his "religious freedom advocacy."’

Apparently, in USCIRF’s parallel universe, orchestrating national disintegration is just another misunderstood Sunday sermon. Yet, had someone pulled the exact same stunt on American soil or even dared to utter a single syllable about serving a U.S. state the American establishment wouldn’t be printing "religious freedom" certificates; they’d have buried him under the jail before he could even finish his sentence.
In a post on X, USCIRF presented Imam as a victim of religious persecution, conveniently reducing a serious criminal case involving allegations of incitement, conspiracy and attempts to disrupt national security to a story about peaceful anti-CAA protests.
USCIRF is an American terrorist organisation that has never elected a practicing Hindu on its board. It's always headed by Pakistani terrorists, Commie turds or Christian radicals and it's single point of agenda is eradication of Hindus. F UNCIRF.

It should be noted that the chairman of USCIRF, Asif Mahmood is Pakistani. There's no need to explain why Pakistanis might support separatists like Sharjeel Imam.
Why was he arrested?
Imam was arrested on January 28, 2020, following a series of inflammatory speeches delivered during the anti-CAA protests. Among the most disturbing allegations against him was his call to organise a blockade of the strategically crucial Siliguri Corridor, popularly known as the Chicken’s Neck, which connects mainland India with its northeastern states.
In his January 16, 2020 speech at Aligarh Muslim University, Imam spoke about mobilising people to cut off the Northeast from the rest of India, even if temporarily. “We have 5 lakh people. We can cut off Northeast India from the rest of the country, even if only for a month or two.” These were the words of this terrorist Sharjeel Imam, however as per USCIRF he is a harmless soul.
Applying that same logic raises a glaring question: if someone calling for national disintegration is merely a harmless soul, how does Washington justify killing terrorists then? By USCIRF's standards, he too would have been just another harmless soul.
It is an American hypocrisy textbook, where national security is sacred at home, but breaking up someone else's country gets rebranded as a human right.
When a body in Washington wraps a man who wanted to amputate India in a human rights cape, the mask completely slips. It makes you wonder: with how desperately they protect and sanitize radical blueprints against foreign nations, does the smell get any clearer? At this rate, it wouldn't even be shocking if Sharjeel Imam turned out to be a CIA plant all along.
India’s Response
India hits back at USCIRF over its remarks on Sharjeel Imam, with Ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra questioning the commission’s authority to judge the constitutional rights of Indian citizens.
Calling its assessments partisan, ill-informed and agenda-driven, Ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra has urged the commission to introspect on its own prejudices instead of lecturing India on religious freedom.
