India: Church vandalised in Madhya Pradesh

A cathedral premises and a Catholic school where people had gathered for a religious convention were vandalised allegedly by Hindu activists at Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, the second incident to come to light after Saturday’s attack on a church in Maharashtra, drawing outrage from the Christian community.

No arrests have been made so far in connection with the Jabalpur incident, which took place on March 20 and the early hours of March 21, when some members of the Christian community were allegedly assaulted and threatened by members of Bajrang Dal and Dharam Sena, who attacked the school and a parsonage alleging that religious conversion had been taking place there.
