In my letter to the newly-appointed Human Rights Minister in March, I underlined the UK's commitment to protecting religious minorities and urged the government of Pakistan to condemn any instances of hate directed towards Ahmadi Muslims and other marginalised religious communities.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/03/2024 16:49:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
