The National Council of Churches in India expressed concern about increased attacks on churches and other property across the country by anti-Christian groups.
In a July 18 statement sent to India's federal home (interior) minister, the council said: "Worship places are being vandalized, pastors and evangelists attacked, false allegations of forceful conversion are leveled against them, Christian believers are threatened, authorities of Christian service institutions are forced to follow dictates, burial right is denied."
