Claim: U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statements on Minority Persecution in India under the current BJP rule.
Fact-check: Antony Blinken has not made these statements targeting Jaishankar & BJP over Minority Persecution in India - FACTLY
Verdict: no such statements were made antony blinken. however, at a joint press conference on 11 april 2022, blinken said that they  were monitoring some recent concerning developments in india, including a rise in human rights abuses by some government, police, and prison officials. following this, on 14 april 2022, jaishankar replied that human rights issue was not a topic of discussion during the ministerial meeting and added, "whenever there is a discussion on that, we will not be reticent about speaking out. we also take our views on other people's human rights situation, including that of the us. so, we take up a human rights issues when they arise in this country , especially when they pertain to our community. and in fact, we had a case yesterday…that's really where we stand on that". hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
