JAIPUR, FEB. 20. The 275 people from Andhra Pradesh who arrived at the Kota railway station in southern Rajasthan to attend a Bible course of the Emmanuel Mission were sent back on Saturday night without being allowed to attend the ceremony after violent protests by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Bajrang Dal activists. The Sangh Parivar workers alleged that they had been brought for religious conversion. The State Social Welfare Minister, Madan Dilwar, has ordered an inquiry into the allegation that the Emmanuel Mission was involved in conversion activities. He sent four senior officials to Kota to hold a detailed probe. The team arrived in Kota this evening. The Bible graduation course of the mission is to be held from February 23 to 27. Reportedly, hundreds of people reached Kota today to attend the function without any protest by the Sangh Parivar. Eight persons were injured on Saturday when the activists allegedly prevented them from proceeding to their destination in the town.
