The Bishop of Guildford asked a question on engagement with the government of India on freedom of religion and belief and treatment of religious minorities on 2nd July 2025:
The Lord Bishop of Guildford: My Lords, what assessment have the Government made of Indian laws on freedom of religion or belief, and how to engage with the Indian Government on the misuse of those laws to target religious minorities, especially Christians and Muslims?
Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab, FCDO): I would also add the Dalit community to that list. This is obviously a concern. There is no room for conversion laws—that is not something that we want to see, and it is a concern in terms of human rights. As I have said when other issues of concern have been raised, we will continue to raise these as appropriate, usually in private with the Government of India.
