Survey on Christians in BJP-ruled states
After Muslim survey, now Christian one in BJP states is Antulay’s idea
NEW DELHI, MAY 24:When the Pope disapproved of laws he said were affecting religious freedom in some Indian states a few days back, the central government had reacted strongly.
But now the Congress-led government has asked the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) to conduct an “on the spot assessment” of complaints of atrocities on Christians in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan — all ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
...
Doesn't matter how Hindus are treated in countries like Bangladesh or Pakistan. Why should anyone bother about that? And what are the "atrocities" on the minorities here? That the poor Christians cannot convert Hindus as and when they like? All this based on the Pope's comments?
