Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing deep concern over the rise in alleged attacks on churches, institutions, pastors, and members of the Christian community across the country. Singh urged the PM to uphold the Constitution, ensure the protection of religious freedom, and take immediate action against those responsible for targeting religious minorities in several states. In his letter, Singh stated that he was compelled to bring the matter to the PM’s attention due to the disturbing and increasing attacks on the Christian community.
He cited incidents reported from West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi, among other states, which he believed were not isolated acts of violence but revealed a disturbing pattern of organized intimidation, vandalism, disruption of peaceful worship, and misuse of allegations of religious conversion to target the minorities. Singh specifically highlighted the recent incidents in West Bengal, which he found deeply shocking. According to reports, churches and Christian gatherings have been repeatedly attacked in Sonarpur, Purba Bardhaman, Paschim Medinipur, and Kharagpur.
