Sam Brownback: “I've got a couple of other issues I want to raise with you, but I hope that's something you can do.”

Promotion of international religious freedom is in our national interest, and it directly supports national security priorities including the defeat of ISIS and other violent extremist groups.

We have to get more focus on this by a broader cross-section, or we will not be effective in this.

I pledge to you my work to press the Government of India to be a government that honors religious freedom for everybody.

Religious freedom is a fundamental right of every human no matter where they live, who they are, or what they believe.
