During an interaction with women journalists at the Indian Women Press Corps here, Heptullah also said comments by "individuals are immaterial".

She was replying to a question about growing concern among the minority communities following communal statements by the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and conversion programmes being reported.
"Minorities need not be concerned, the government will protect them," she said.
