As evidenced here this morning, the persecution has happened with the tacit approval of the police and Government officials, which is a worrying state of affairs. The persecution and killings are appalling. It is a fact that people have made complaints to the police but nothing happened, which is where political focus is needed. The committee must ask the following questions. Why has nothing been done? What has the Indian Government done to resolve the issue? We all need to raise our voices, in terms of this issue.
