New Delhi: Christian leaders from various denominations have announced a mass protest to be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Jantar Mantar on October 26, to highlight the escalating violence and targeted hate crimes against their community. The announcement was made during a press conference at Press Club of India here Thursday.
The Christian leaders called on concerned citizens from the NCR region to join in the protest, which aims to express deep distress within the Christian community over increasing attacks on their clergy, pastors, nuns, school leaders, teachers, doctors, and nurses. Many of these individuals were targeted while engaging in prayer within their churches or institutions. The rise in hostility appears to be concentrated in states governed by BJP.
This protest is seen as a pivotal moment for the Christian community to raise awareness about the growing climate of intolerance and the need for justice and protection from targeted violence.
