Hindu
extremists allegedly from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
attacked children’s learning centre and urged the
Christians to vacate their place on July 19 in Ambala,
Haryana.
According to an EFI correspondent, Rev. Isaac Dutta,
Hindu extremists attacked Pastor Daniel Kamaraj and his
staffs that are running a free tuition program-me for
children under Children Compassion Ministry and accused
them of forceful conversion.
The Hindu extremist barged into the children’s learning
centre and accused the Christians of indulging in
forceful conversion ,mercilessly beat them up and forced
them to vacate the area. The Christian workers suffered
minor injuries.
The pastor reported the matter to the police station the
next day but police officers told him to vacate the
building as soon as possible as he anticipated trouble
due to the running of a school in the area.
Speaking to EFI, pastor Kamaraj said, “We have about 15
students from poor families coming to the school
everyday for two hours in the afternoon. We are helping
these children with their studies under the consent of
their parents.” The Christians shifted the learning
centre to the pastor’s house to avoid conflict.
