HYDERABAD, FEB. 17. The All-India Christian Council has condemned the tonsuring of six women in Orissa for embracing Christianity. The incident took place in Kilipala village in Jagatsinghpur district on February 6.
In a statement here, Joseph D'Souza, president, and other office-bearers said the State Government had been a passive spectator and "often connived, by its deliberate inaction, in the violence against Christians." Apart from ignoring the distress calls of the community, the Central Government had nurtured a hate campaign against it.
Dr. Joseph sought a halt to the "calumny" unleashed by the BJP and the Sangh Parivar leaders.
