India slams double standard on religiophobia at UN amid Prophet row

• India permanent representative to the United Nations TS Tirumurti set the record straight at a high-level event on hate speech at the global forum. Indian ambassador said combating the Religiophobia should not be a "selective exercise" involving only one or two religions but apply equally to phobias against non-Abrahamic religions. Tirumurti said India’s multicultural edifice has, over centuries, made it a safe haven for all those who seek refuge in India, whether the Jewish community or Zoroastrians or Tibetans or from its own neighbourhood. Tirumurti made these remarks at an event marking the first anniversary of the International Day on Countering Hate Speech. Watch this video for more.
