    It is a good move on the part of Christians in Chicago to think of the suffering Christians in Orissa. It will be good if Christians in USA bring to the notice of American administration the amount of sufferings and humiliations the minority community in India has to undergo while practicing their faith. The amount money vhp receives from hindus in the USA is huge one and it is used to vandalise and terrorise peaceloving minority communities. As Modi is banned from entering USA so also vhp should be declared as terrorist organization. It definitely is a terrorist organization.
