Pakistan has rejected the recent US report on religious freedom violations in the country, terming it "unsubstantiated" and "biased".

According to the report issued by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), religious freedom conditions in Pakistan "generally trended negative" in 2018.

"During the year, extremist groups and societal actors continued to discriminate against and attack religious minorities, including Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Ahmadis, and Shi'a Muslims," the report said.
