West Bengal: Outpour of anguish from the Christian community over recent attacks on churches

What's behind this

Attacks on Christians continue in Bengal, with a Hindutva mob allegedly disrupting the inauguration ceremony of a newly constructed Church of North India (CNI) in Narayantala village, Basanti subdivision, South 24 Parganas, while the Barrackpore Bishop was present. In response, hundreds of Christians marched through Kolkata to protest the wave of Hindutva mob attacks on churches and prayer meetings across the state. The Bangiya Christiya Parishad says 48 incidents have been reported since May, but FIRs have been filed in only 15 cases.
