Christian activists tense after VHP, Bajrang Dal threats

By IANS

Patna : Missionaries at Emmanuel Leadership Training Centre, a Christian institution here, remained tense Thursday, a day after Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal activists demanded its closure.

“We were threatened by some VHP and Bajrang Dal activists, who tried to attack and ransack the centre and demanded its closure,” a Christian missionary of Emmanuel Leadership Training Centre said here.

“After the VHP and Bajrang Dal activists tried to attack and ransack the centre and demanded its closure, Christian missionaries informed the police and appeared scared,” Phulwarisharief police told IANS.

According to a Christian missionary associated with the centre, the VHP and Bajrang Dal activists charged the Christian missionaries of luring Hindus by offering them money and promising education and jobs.

Father Shrikant Prasad of the centre has refuted the allegations of conversion.
