India disturbed by rise of intolerance worldwide:
United Nations, Nov 13 India was disturbed by the rise of intolerance worldwide and troubled by the resources being made available to groups that misuse religion to ``propagate their extremist agendas'', Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed said here.Addressing an inter-faith meeting of the UN General Assembly, Ahamed said Wednesday that modern society should not tolerate extremism and violence.
The UN freedom of religion investigator warned yesterday that India risks more religious violence, like Gujarat's 2002 riots that killed 2,500 people, as delays to bring justice encouraged an atmosphere of impunity.
