Christian forum slams RSS for remarks on Church-Maoist nexus

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

RAIPUR: Taking strong exception to senior Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar's allegations linking Maoists and Christians , Chhattisgarh Christian Forum described it as a conspiracy to malign the minorities saying that in fact Church can be a vital bridge in solving the Naxal problem.

Addressing a press conference here, Chhattisgarh Christian Forum president Arun Pannalal and Rev Akhilesh Edgar said Indresh Kumar's statement that Maoists never targeted Churches, priests and nuns was frivolous and in bad taste. " Till date, the RSS has not been attacked by the naxalites. So do we presume that there is an understanding between the RSS and the naxalites ? Similarly Maoists have never attacked Hindu temples, mosques and other religious and many other institutions. Does this mean that there is some understanding between them?", they asked.

Christian fourm alleged that it was not a secret that fringe elements associated with RSS had vandalized churches. In Bastar region the VHP is very active. Christian graveyards, churches, schools and social centres have been attacked.

They alleged that the whole exercise is in consonance with "one religion theory". Questioning the RSS allegations of large scale conversions, they said as on independence the Christian population was 2.8%, where as now Christians are only 2.3%. Thus the Christian community's population is declining. The allegations of religious conversions hold no water, as till date not a single accused has been sentenced or proven guilty.

Forum leader claimed that Church was engaged in the development even 100 years ago. A population of 2.8% was giving medical and educational services to a large population. The government of today has yet not been able to reach the distant forest tribal areas with its social, medical and educational services.

Pannalal said RSS allegations of Maoist Christian nexus could also be a ploy to prepare the ground to falsely implicate Christians under the draconian Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act as the cases registered Christians in the past under other laws could not stand judicial scrutiny. " Christian community strongly condemns RSS leader's statement", they added.

This is just a plain lie. Maoists have been documented to attack temples, gurus, RSS leaders etc.

The Church Maoist nexus is a very real one.

They are not pseudo Christians. They are padres and fathers. They have ulterior motive. But Christian. There are two broad types - pro Indian and anti Indian.

They failed to convert Hindus of main land but They have been successful in doing that in Tribal areas of North East .
If we kept looking other way , Who Knows , in the future we might see a Christ desh in our North east

I find it an extremely absurd statement, I have never heard of anything like that, although I doubt the motives of Baptists and pentacostals but this level of treachery is too much even for them. I would appreciate if you back this statement of yours with real evidences and proofs.

If this this has some truth in it (which I highly doubt) GOI must step in and the first step should be putting the purpetrators behind the bars and seal the churches being used for anti national activities. Treason against nation must not be tolerated

Ya , Sure .

But if current Government does that , there will be hue and cry and I don't want any more derailment of Development agenda . They can do it in their 2nd term , If they get another majority .

You have your priorities misplaced here, it is the illigal bangladeshis you should be worried about not the christians, and stop whining Christians are there to stay and you cannot do jack about that

There is indeed some level of unhealthy relationship between the church and maoist.

Murder of Swami Lakshamanananda who was dedicated to Tribal welfare in Orrisa is one of the proof. He was attacked and killed by christian maoists during Krishna Janastami celebrations.

Other evidence being the involvement of church during the Kundankulam protest.

Sarthak trust me there are more anti Indian hindus in India that anti Indian Christians

I agree. In fact there are more Anti Hindu HINDUS in India that Anti Hindu chrisitans.

 

[Bitter Melon]

Sarthak trust me there are more anti Indian hindus in India that anti Indian Christians

We already speak out against those Hindus from Mani Shankar Aiyar to the Gandhis to the Dutts. Yet to see Christians speak out against churches involved in anti-Indian anti-Hindu activities.

No doubt about it.

Well ! I have no problem with Indian Christians . I have problem with Christian leaders like Sir Jon Paul , who speaks non sense on TV as if they are pure and rest are impure . Always trying to act like Elites from west .

I show the same hate for the Chaddis and Bhakts of RSS . They are no different from Name sake religious leaders from all religious groups
