Washington: Gujarat CM Narendra Modi has been singled out in a US panel report on religious freedom as the only person denied entry to America under a special act for alleged "complicity" in the 2002 riots.

The Gujarat chief minister was referred to as "Governor Nahendra Modi" in the annual report of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released on Friday.

Modi's name figures in the report despite the panel putting on hold the chapter on the status of religious freedom in India, saying this would be done after its team visits the country next month to gain perspective on Indian government's response to allegations of communal violence in states like Gujarat and Orissa.
