New Delhi [India], February 2 (ANI): There is no pattern of selective targeting on the basis of religion, said the Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday while replying to a question on attacks of Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a reply to a question in Lok Sabha, the MHA provided the details of domicile certificates issued till January 25 in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir has reported that up to January 25, 2021, a total of 33,80,234 domicile certificates have been issued in the UT. It has been further reported that since the constitutional changes were made in August 2019, 58 civilians have lost their lives in 54 terror attacks for various purposes. No pattern of selective targeting based on religion can be established, the MHA said.
The Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday said issues related to religious conversions are primarily the concerns of state governments, adding that law enforcement agencies take action whenever such instances of violation come to the fore. Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy said public order and police are state subjects as per the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution and hence, prevention, detection, registration, investigation and prosecution of offences related to religious conversions are primarily the concerns of state governments and Union Territory administrations. Action is taken as per existing laws by law enforcing agencies whenever instances of violation come to notice, he said in a written reply.
