He said that the Indian government has
asked Pakistan to take steps to stop religious intolerance, communal violence,
harassment and attacks on minority communities. It should also take steps for
their safety and welfare. India keeps highlighting the condition of minorities
in Pakistan on international forums.
The government took these incidents seriously
The minister said that except Pakistan and
Bangladesh, there are zero cases of violence against Hindus and other minorities
in other neighbouring countries. He was asked about the number of cases of

Commission in Dhaka is monitoring the situation related to minorities in
Bangladesh. The primary responsibility of the safety of all citizens including
minorities lies with the government of the country.
