Demand for Security of Christian Institutions in Chhatisgarh
URGENT FAX TO PRIME MINISTER FOR SECURITY OF CHRISTIAN INSTITUTIONS IN CHHATISGARH AS HINDUTVA FRONT AGITATES IN STATE CAPITAL
AGAINST CHRISTIANITY
23
April 2007
Dr Manmohan Singh
Hon'ble the Prime Minister of India
New Delhi
Copies to Union Home Minister Chairman: National Commission for Minorities, Human Rights Commission of Chhatisgarh
Dear Prime Minister,
I am writing to you for the Government of India's immediate directions to the State of Chhattisgarh to ensure the safety and security of Christian citizens, among them Priests, Nuns, and Church personnel, churches, institutions and other properties which are threatened by an unlawful and vicious Campaign masterminded by the Sangh Parivar.
Even today, the so called Hindu Mahasabha Vanvasi and Janjati Sanghathan, supported, aided and abetted by Mr. Judeo, is staging an aggressive Rally and demonstration in Raipur against my community and the Church.
Their targets Christian Institutions and properties, particularly in the Jaishpur region which is the hone and constituency of Mr. Judeo and the arena of his so called Ghar Wapsi conversion programme. The properties have been lawfully bought by Christians of Tribal origin and in no way contravene national and local laws. The entire exercise is a political gimmick to assault and constraint the church and its activities, and perhaps even to grab properties which are now being used in the service of the poor by way of schools and hospitals.
Your prompt action in this regard will prevent grave injustice and suffering
Thank you,
Dr John Dayal
