In the recent months, a number of churches and Christian missionaries have come under fire from various religious and political organisations over claims of forced religious conversion.
A Christmas programme was attacked last Friday in Uttarakhand’s Uttarakashi by a mob of individuals armed with sticks under the pretence that forced conversions were taking place there.
In Uttar Pradesh, two people were arrested on Monday for allegedly converting people to Christianity.
