A US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) delegation has been denied visa to India. The panel - to monitor religious freedom and check restrictions on religious practices - was to travel India on June 12.

According to sources, the delegation despite having early booked the tickets, was forbidden entry, on fears that it would lead to severe criticism of the government, in the backdrop of growing violence on minorities.
