answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2020 answer text <p>The UK remains deeply concerned by reports of discrimination and violence against religious communities in Pakistan, including against the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. Discrimination and intolerance based on religion or belief can take many forms, including restricted constitutional rights. Elections are the key test of a functioning democracy, allowing citizens to choose how they are governed and by whom. The UK believes that no one should be excluded because of their religion or belief.</p><p>We regularly raise human rights as a concern in our dialogue with the Government of Pakistan at a senior level. Most recently, the Minister of State for South Asia and Minister responsible for Human Rights, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, raised our concerns about the reports of discrimination and violence against the Ahmadiyya Muslim community with Pakistan's Human Rights Minister, Dr Shireen Mazari, on 16 November.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 08/12/2020 17:29:29 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams previous answer version 67299 answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
