Christian Forum criticises Orissa Government

By Our Staff Reporter

BHUBANESWAR NOV. 29. The All Orissa United Christian Forum today criticised the State Government for its "failure" to protect the minorities and sought the banning of the organisations engaged in religious fanaticism and violence in the State.

At a press conference here, the secretary of the Forum, B.K. Muduli, expressed shock over a recent attack on a church in Deogarh district of the State. The Government should take measures to protect all religious places of worship, he said.

Mr. Muduli alleged that the number of attacks on Christians and their places of worship in the State had increased during the present Biju Janata Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party Government compared to the previous Congress Government. About 200 such cases were reported from different parts of the State in 2002, he added.
