There can’t be ‘double standards’ on ‘religiophobia’, combating it should not be a ‘selective exercise’ said the India UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti at New York, on June 18, at the UN meeting.
“As we have emphasised time and again, combating religiophobia should not be a selective exercise involving only one or two religions but should apply equally to phobias against non-Abrahamic religions as well,” said Tirumurti.
