SRES 424 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States Government engage the Government of India to seek a swift end to the persecution of, and violence against, religious minorities and human rights defenders in India and a reversal of government policies that discriminate against Muslims and Christians on the basis of their respective faiths.

This resolution urges the U.S. government to engage with India to address religious freedom concerns. It specifically calls for India to reverse discriminatory policies like the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (which excludes Muslims from expedited citizenship), end the National Register of Citizens (NRC) process that risks stripping citizenship from Muslims, and repeal anti-conversion laws and the Karnataka hijab ban. The resolution also demands an end to violence against religious minorities, the release of detained activists, and accountability for police brutality during protests. These actions would directly affect India's Muslim and Christian communities, who face systemic discrimination and violence under current policies.
