VOM, India:
Hindu extremists launched two known attacks against Christians last week, assaulting a pastor in the state of Chhattisgarh on December 17 and beating a couple in Haryana on December 20. In Raipur, a group of about 50 extremists from the Dharam Raksha Sena beat an independent pastor and accused him of forced conversions. They attacked Philip Jagdalla as he returned to his home after teaching Sunday school at his church. About 50 Bajrang Dal extremists attacked the Christian couple, Rakesh Sen and Suman Sen, at their home. The attackers were upset at the couple for regularly allowing their New Life Fellowship church to meet in their home and warned them against doing so in the future.


All of these "forced conversions" charges appear to me to be rather ironic.
