Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of India to cease the demolition of properties owned by Muslims suspected of involvement in communal violence in that country.

Any reports of discrimination against religious minorities are a matter for the Indian police and legal system. The British High Commission in New Delhi continues to monitor the situation in India.

We engage India on a range of human rights matters, working with Union and State Governments, and with civil society, to build capacity and share expertise to promote human rights for all. Where we have any issues, we raise them directly with the Government of India, including at Ministerial level.
