Catholic World News: Indian Prime Minister urges end to bias against religious minorities

Indian PM Manmohan Singh has told the nation's police chiefs that they must work to reverse what he terms the "perceived bias" of law enforcement personnel against religious minorities, Catholic World News has reported.

"Such a perception is inimical to effective policing, which must necessarily draw upon the confidence and cooperation of all sections of the population it serves," said the prime minister while addressing the national conference of state police chiefs and other top security officials in New Delhi.
