New Delhi: India on Thursday snubbed a US report on International Religious Freedom that expressed concern over reports of religiously-motivated killings in the country, saying the Indian constitution provides every citizen equal religious, political and social rights.

External affairs ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said the US report, released in Washington on Wednesday, is "internal to the US administration. It is widely acknowledged that the Indian constitution guarantees equal rights - religious, political and social rights - to its citizens, including its minorities; and any abuses are handled by internal process, including the judiciary, a vibrant media, civil society and the National Human Rights Commission etc".
