According to reports from the Chhattisgarh Christian Forum, the Christians of the state of Chhattisgarh are facing engineered communal attacks in a pre planed manner for the last seven days. Here are some of the incidents:
1. One Hindu teacher has been falsely implicated in distributing Bibles in her school; she was badly beaten up by Hindu extremists groups. She has been arrested by the police whereas the perpetrators of violence against this lady are still at large and scot-free because of protection by the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Government and support by bureaucracy.
2. One pastor of a Church has been accused of distributing toffee (Candy) to Sunday school students and on this pretext was badly beaten up police is trying to frame false charges against him. Chhattisgarh Christian Forum (CCF) when tried to obtain bail as per legal procedures 'Dharam Sena' activists using violence threatened CCF members not to seek bail, and virtually took complete charge of the police station for three hours. Democratic rights of citizens, especially of Christians have been thrown to the winds.
Dharam Sena is a hindu fundamentalist group supported by the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangah (RSS) and the ruling BJP government, and is notorious for and perpetrating extreme violence especially on Christians.
3. Today on the Christmas Eve while we are preparing to celebrate, one Christian Pastor is being beaten up badly at 'Dhamtari' district headquarters 80 Km from the State Capital town 'Raipur' for the simple crime of distributing sweets and putting on a dress of Santa clause, the police has thrown him behind bars with the accusation of disturbing communal harmony.
'DHARM SENA' ACTIVISTS ARE ROAMING IN THE STREETS OF RAIPUR IN 40 TO 50 JEEPS, AND PUBLICALLY ANNOUNCING TO CLOSE DOWN ALL CHURCH SERVICES TOMORROW THE 25TH OF DECEMBER 2006.
THEIR GAME PLAN IS TO SOME HOW PUSH CHHATTISGARH INTO COMMUNAL VIOLENCE. ON CHRISTMAS DAY IT IS OBVIOUS THAT EVERY CHURCH WILL HAVE A LARGE ATTENDANCE, WHEN 'DHARM SENA' ENTERS THE CHURCHES, IN ALL LIKELYHOOD THEY MAY BE BEATEN UP BY THE LARGE NUMBER OF THE CHRISTIANS PRESENT. ON THIS PRETEXT A WELL PLANNED PURGING AND ATTACK ON CHRISTIANS WOULD BE CARRIED OUT IN CHHATTISGARH IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS.
