Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to help tackle the persecution of Christians in India.

​UK officials regularly interact with religious and other minorities in India, including representatives of the Christian communities. We condemn any instances of discrimination because of religion or belief, regardless of the country or faith involved. In support of minorities the British High Commission in New Delhi, our network of Deputy High Commissions, as well as FCO officials in London, maintain a continuous assessment of the human rights situation across India.
