India: Religious Freedom
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has made representations to her Indian counterpart on the recent attack on a Christian worship service in that country; and what steps her Department is taking to help protect religious minorities in India.
- Answer
-
We continue to track these issues closely and engage wherever possible to promote religious freedom and tolerance. Our High Commission in New Delhi, along with our network of Deputy High Commissions, monitors the human rights situation closely. We also engage with civil society and faith leaders to support efforts to promote tolerance and respect between communities. We will continue in these efforts and keep the House updated as this work progresses.
