Freedom of worship is enshrined in the Constitution. Article 32(3) states: "Every person has the right, either individually or in community with others, in public or in private, to manifest any religion or belief through worship, practice, teaching or observance, including observance of a day of worship".

Indeed, no person should be discriminated against or mistreated on the grounds of their religion and beliefs. The rights of all worshippers must be respected by all and sundry, irrespective of whether one agrees with their beliefs or not.
