RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN INDIA

Tabled by Sir Lindsay Hoyle (Speaker) 55 signatures

The motion

That this House notes with concern the report by the All India Catholic Union that highlighted 190 attacks on Christians in 2007; recognises that these attacks took the form of homicides, armed assaults, sexual harassment and lynchings; further notes that many of these attacks took place while people were worshipping within the privacy of their homes and churches; and calls on the Indian government to ensure that attacks based upon religious beliefs are stopped and religious tolerance is practised at all times.
