Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made a joint analysis of conflict and stability with international partners of the situation in India, especially concerning any violence against Christian minorities and destruction of churches.

The British High Commission in New Delhi regularly assesses human rights across India. We remain committed to defending Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) for all, and we work with the UN, OSCE, Council of Europe, G7 and other multilateral fora to promote FoRB. The UK Government has a broad and deep partnership with the Government of India and we discuss all elements of our relationship, including issues where we have them. I, [the Minister for South Asia], discussed FoRB with External Affairs Minister Jaishankar during my visit to New Delhi on 29 May.
