• One concern is the treatment of minority groups in India, particularly the Muslim population. Lawmakers have raised concerns about the Citizenship Amendment Act, which grants citizenship to non-Muslim refugees but excludes Muslims.
• Another concern is the recently passed farm laws, which have led to protests by farmers who feel that they will negatively impact their livelihoods. Lawmakers have questioned the government's handling of the protests and its use of force against protestors.
• Lawmakers have also raised concerns about the suppression of dissenting voices, including journalists, activists, and opposition politicians.
• The government's use of internet shutdowns and restrictions on freedom of expression have also been criticized.
• Additionally, there are concerns about the government's treatment of human rights organizations, including the arrest of activists and the use of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act to impede their work.

These concerns have prompted US lawmakers to call on President Biden to address these issues with the Indian government and to emphasize the importance of protecting democracy and human rights.
