Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assistance have they provided or intend to provide to those human rights organisations committed to strengthening India’s commitment to and respect for Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

We regularly discuss issues around freedom of religion and belief with the Indian government and faith leaders. We also support freedom of religion or belief in India through Department for International Development programmes which help to promote equal treatment and access to services for all, including the most disadvantaged communities.
