Concerns Over the Treatment of India's Muslims

Lodged by Foysol Choudhury Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament expresses its concern at reports of violence against the Muslim minority in India; notes the concerns highlighted by a number of NGOs and international observers about a recent deterioration of the situation for Indian Muslims; expresses its alarm at reports that discriminatory attitudes towards Muslims are, it understands, being imported to Scotland from India by a small minority of extremists and spreading on social media, and calls on governments around the world to protect minority rights to freedom of worship and peaceful religious practice.
