Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of India about the treatment of Sikh activists.

​The British High Commission in New Delhi and Deputy High Commissions across India, including the Deputy High Commission in Chandigarh which covers the Punjab, maintain a continuous assessment of the human rights situation in India and engage regularly with the Indian National Commission for Minorities. FCO officials also regularly meet senior faith leaders (including Sikhs) and the British Government funds a number of projects in India to help promote minority rights and combat discrimination.

During his visit to the UK in November 2015, Prime Minister Modi assured the UK that his government remained committed to protecting diversity and fundamental freedoms.​
