Local Muslim groups are urging Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to raise concerns about discrimination and preju­dice against Muslims in India during her bilateral talks with India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

The Islamic Da’wah Movement stated in a media release yesterday that India has one of the world’s largest Muslim popu­lations, comprising around 200 million people.

It further stated that since India’s independence, Muslims have often faced discrimination, prejudice and violence, despite constitutional protections.
