Appeal by GCIC for safety of CS John

Urgent Prayers for safety of CS John and the Christian congregation in Chikmangalur, Karnataka
Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) urges the national commission for Minorities and central home ministry to extend protection for Christians and the institutions managed by them.

Hindu radicals have unleashed a rein of terror in the state of Karnataka.The recent reports and of increased terrorism shows , targeting of Christians by the Hindu radicals is creating a conducive environment to facilitate operations of international terrorists in southern states of India. The indigenous terror mongers will further vitiate the peace and tranquility prevailing in India. We also appeal to the political parties and religious leaders supporting the indigenous hate mongers that if they continue to sow terror and hate they should be prepared to reap them in India and abroad in many folds

In 1991, Pastor C S John started an orphanage with two children, in Lakkavalli village, Tarikere taluk, Chikmagalur District in Karnataka state. The children stayed with the pastor's family in their home, a small hut. In the year 2001, a friend of Pastor John sponsored a building for the orphanage and it was moved to a more spacious location in Rangahalli village, about 6 km away. Right now there are about fifty children, between the ages of 5 and 17 in the orphanage, with about 12 girls, the rest being boys, being cared for by Brother Andrew and his family. Andrew used to be one of the first inmates of the orphanage.Since the change of government in Karnataka, there have been sporadic but growing numbers of incidents against Christians in the state. With the BJP coming to power in the coalition government, the areas where they have a strong presence have witnessed various attacks against Christians, churches, and Christian institutions.

In the same vein, Pastor CS John heard of a complaint being filed against him to the District commissioner by some BJP supporters. But his efforts to get information about this failed.

On 8th November, he heard that a complaint had been filed against him in the Police station by some BJP supporters. Pastor John called on the Lakkavalli panchayat president and they held a discussio with about 25 BJP supporters, who alleged that John was visiting slums and Dalit villages and inducing the Dalits and other poor people to convert to Christianity. Pastor John vehemently denied any inducements or conversions, and challenged them to produce proof. They were not able to do so.

On 11th November there were roumours afloat that a big procession was being planned against the work of CS John. Though this did not happen, on the Sunday morning, a few of the BJP activists stopped tow boys from the orphanage on the road and questioned them about their names, families and what they were being taught in the orphanage. Another young man, Prashant, the neighbour's son, was also stopped and abused in very strong language, because his family had become Christians about ten years ago.Two men knocked on the gate of Pastor John's house. As he was away attending a meeting in Bhadravathi, Pramod, (the brother of Prashant) who had just been discharged from hospital and under treatment for blood cancer, came out and asked them what they wanted. He informed them that pastor was away at a meeting. The men asked his name and then assaulted Pramod and left. Pramod at once called pastor up and informed him. Pastor John contacted the Sub-Inspector on the telephone. In a few minutes the police arrived and tried, with Pramod's help, to find the perpetrators but they had escaped.

On 13th November, one of the ringleaders called Nagesh came by Pastor John’s house. Pastor greeted him in a friendly manner. Pramod's mother looked out of her (the neighbouring) house and Nagesh asked her name, which was Lakshmi – the name of a Hindu goddess. So he said to her "We are waiting to beat up your elder son Prashant. You converted Christians will not be allowed to enter into the church."

According to Pastor John they are planning a big procession on the 15th Nov. against the alleged conversion "activities" of Pastor John. But he adds that the local police, and the present and former MLAs are quite supportive. Local Dalit groups are also coming out in support of the Christians of the area. We request your prayers for the peace and harmony and for good sense and the rule of law to prevail in the situation. It is sad that even a cancer patient is not spared by the hate mongers because he happens to be Christian. The attacks are also aimed to threaten GCIC as CS John is one of the senior rights activist attached to Global council of Indian Christians (GCIC).

My family members underwent hate and terror in our home on 6th March by the Rajasthan state police and Hindu fanatics. We once again appeal to the rights organizations to have mercy on Christians being persecuted for their faith.

Dear Editor,It is great to read Deepika's article on Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan's son & many associates. Some how you guys missed out truth which came out next day seen in all papers except fucking shitty Deepika.Its a pity to see bloody Christian bishops & Cardinals who licked shitty British arses for 100's of years throwing their venom on great men like VS. Most of fucking christain church wealth are from British arseholes, we are allowing you guys to Live in Our conutry India. Fuckers like you needs to thrown out of India. I don't think we could expect that from CIA papers any way...? Deepiks is fine example of fucking Christian papers dislike real Indians. A Paper who serves & funded by CIA & anti National elements. Deepika is only suited for licking arses not for throwing eggs at great men like VS. I have seen many articles in Deepika which are so biased that feel like burning down this fucking paper. Rather than criticising VS go & lick dirty Italian bitch Sonia's arses or any ruling party lead's arse to get some advertisements or support kerala's biggest phedophile Changanaseaary Archbishop Joseph Powathil or rapist's like omman Chandy or PJ Kurian or Christain Sex Centre @ POTTA.So shut up, I am using your fucking paper as toilet paper to wipe my arse only, though my arse start stinking after I started using your shitty paper to wipe it.

---MUST BE READ BY ALL INDIANS---

Bloody Indian christians are the only reason for the backwardness of the country. Do any of you know the words of some bloody britisher (I forgot his name)while he inspectedINDIA for their invasion? He just went back back and told his officials that "I have travelled across the country(INDIA) and I have never seen any poor human or any theif. INDIA has such a wealth along with good unity among the people of two religions (Hindus & Muslims). We can do nothing for capturing that country unless we break the very backbone of her, which is her culture, religious spirit, unity, etc. So we have to make them beleive that our english literature and our religion is superior when compared to their religion and literature. To do this we have to go there and start breaking their unity and beleifs. We have to buy(bribe) few famous and stupid people to help us. Then we must start converting the servants of us (who gets benifitted by our bribes) into christians and motivate them to spread the religion. This may take many years. But if we succeed in this invasion, we can be the richest, since INDIA has many gold, diamond, raw material reserves which will be very helpful for us." And thats the only way how few Indians started getting converted into christians.
But the worst part is that, even after getting our freedom this process of conversion has'nt stopped. Even today many bloody bastards are licking the asses of foreigners for their money, which will be received to them JUST by converting their religions.
Everyone out there... please stop this shit. And if you dont know that this is how you(only for christians of INDIA) got converted into christians, just get back to your mother religion, either it is muslim, hindu, sikh, etc.. Your mother god will be very happy for you and gift you all the happiness in the world.
The christians are forced to beleive in their religion from their childhood itself. Just dont be weak minded and dont merely kill this country. If you wanna continue as a christian just leave the hell out of INDIA. We dont need to listen to your cheappppp fucking shouting prayers any more.
Because of you bastards we the people of a backward class are being seen as really backward people and are being insulted.(Now any christian, dont try to console me.) And luckily I am an Indian, and due to this only reason no one has ever attacked us(backward people). They are just loosing their patience and started pinching us by their words indirectly and that too, they are commenting only the christians, not us. But the problem is, as many of the people of our backward class have been converted into christians, they are using the names of our class. Because of bloody christians we are being insulted. We INDIANS have tolerated many things in the past. Now we are losing patience. Dont try to ignite the already burning young blood of Indians. And all you christian missionaries (whoever is motivating the conversion of any person into a christian), just dont try to see the taste of the muslim and hindu swords. Not all the christians of India are idiots. Many of them patriots. But they are unknowingly hurting the heart of India. Please be strong headed and be original Indians.
I wanna make clear that I dont have any hate against christians of the world. I love them and respect them except those of india.

Advani confident of NDA government at Centre---
----------------------------------
In what can be an apparent attempt to deviate from the BJP’s pro-capitalist stand, the party’s prime

ministerial candidate LK Advani on Monday emphasised that the nation cannot boast of having billionaires when the

farmers across India are committing suicide.

Advani made these statements in a public meeting at the very venue, National College Ground in Bangalore, where a

couple of days back the scion of Nehru-Gandhi family Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BJP government .
