Asked by:

Answer
The UK Government takes all allegations of human rights violations very seriously. The UK Government has a broad, deep and respectful partnership with the Government of India. This includes sharing perspectives on human rights and minority issues and finding common ground, including at Ministerial level. In 2024, I held a roundtable with stakeholders to discuss Freedom of Religion in India.
Our High Commission in New Delhi and our network across India monitor human rights across the country. This includes raising issues of concern where we have them.
