Christians call for protest rally in New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on 29th May 2007 [Tuesday]

Rally also planned in Mumbai

Over 100 incidents of violence against Christians have taken place this year against Christians – Catholic priests and Nuns, Protestant Pastors and evangelists, and innocent Believers. Christian women have been raped in some states. In other States, innocent Christian workers have been put in jail by unscrupulous Police, while their assailants from the Sangh Parivar, who were filmed indulging in violence and the video-tapes then telecast by national networks, have gone scot free, or have been released on bail.

Appeals to the Chief Ministers and Police hierarchy of the States seem not to have had an affect. Appeals and Open Letters to the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, and to UPA Chairperson, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, have also not elicited any response.

The community has no option but to make a public display of its injury, grief, and anger has therefore been decided to hold a Peaceful and Prayerful Protest RallyIn New DelhiAt Jantar Mantar, Parliament StreetFrom 10 o’clock on 29th May, 2007. To urge the government to wake up and act to stop this mindless violence against the most peaceful and microscopic religious Minority in India.

Please attend in large numbers.

This appeal is not only to Christian Churches. It is to the entire civil society and NGOs working for communal harmony and peace
