That this House notes with concern the report by the All India Catholic Union that highlighted 190 attacks on Christians in 2007; recognises that these attacks took the form of homicides, armed assaults, sexual harassment and lynchings; further notes that many of these attacks took place while people were worshipping within the privacy of their homes and churches; and calls on the Indian government to ensure that attacks based upon religious beliefs are stopped and religious tolerance is practised at all times.
