To Clareen & Godwin, Do you have any answer to MR.Bhat's question?. He has asked a right question. Thank you Mr. Bhat. Clareen & Godwin, don't be so fundamentalist in your thinkings. Due to your fundamentalism, now christians (specially catholics) are facing problems in India. "Pragathi" has mentioned right point. I am surprised that, the founder of New Life Mission, is a "Patron of Male Sex Vendor" & "Drug Addict". Shame on those who are following "TED HAGGARD" and selling their belief for money, in India and creating communal violence.

Every has right to practise his faith peacefully in India. Godwin and Clareen canada,  How can a religious sect founded in 1984 on loose morals be justified over 2000 year old religion.

The church is inspired by JESUS CHRIST and not any man. We all have to stand before God and give an account of OUR own lives and NOT someone else's life. First of all, I admire Ted Haggard who confessed before the world that he was guilty of hidden sins. This takes a lot of courage and humility.

Can you think of our leaders who have done that? Forget our leaders , do you think we as individuals talk about our sins - arent' we leaders of our homes and role models to our children and everyone around us?

Godwin - The New Life missionary was inspired by Ted Haggard a pastor who founded the New Life missionary in Colorado. He was then kicked out due to "sexual immoriality" ( patronized male sex vendors ) and for using meth ( drug ). He openly came out and said that he was a liar and deceived people.

However, the leaders of the church simply stated that the pastor was removed to be "cured", but the activiy in the church was doing good. These are the same leaders that are trying to spread their tentacles across India and you are supporting them.? You should be ashamed to be associated with this group founded by a perverted drug addict.

Godwin - people like you have caused Christianity the disaster it never envisaged. Look at Europe in general and UK in particular splinter groups like New Life have converted churches into Pubs. If your faith in Christ was so strong, why you need to change to another group. Leave your politics asise and believe in God you believe in also allow others to believe in God as they deeep fit. Do not propagate and bring shame to the community of Christians.

Where people are working hard to bring all groups under one umbrella, this New Life is splitting the believers. Because of this New Life we had to face the unfortunate from the Hindu Brothers who lived side by side for centuries in peace.

Dear RICHARD MORAS from BAHRAIN don't criticize New Life as they are true Christians as they have accepted Christ after being old enough to under stand, even Jesus was baptized at the age of thirty and not as a child, he was dedicated to god as child go and read your bible, that is why many Catholics are leaving and joining New life .

And what about Kageri? Has he resigned from the post of Education ministry for uttering those meaningless statements over christian educational institutions?Let BJP show others how to maintain the morality before asking Sangliana to resign.

Now that he is MP, Sangliana should remain so . Being an MP he can do good. Criticizing BJP is doing good. BJP will benefit from his criticis in the long term. Its not funny thing at all . He is critisizing injustice and he will continue to do so !! whether it is minorities or rest of the citizens! they are equal. Conversion is not illegal and so ... Upliftment of poor people( with or without changing their is NATION building) who cares for labell any way! As people come out of poverty and get education - they practive family planning and produce less children... does it make sense to any one??? I sincerely HOPE!!!

I have seen few people commenting that sangliana has supported openly New Life.When all Roman catholics try to save themselves whats wrong in one person standing out and support them? Please do not try to divide christians as A,B,C, respect all religion. Do not be arrogant to say only Roman catholics are christians. Nobody has been given that authority to anybody. Try to bring people nearer and not farther. God Bless.

I can't understand why our people blame BJP though most of our Chrsitans never vote for it,so they don't have any right to blame BJP. BJP is doing good work but the opposition party devils creating issues one by one for BJP. BJP a true national party with national pride, it never join hands with anti national elements as like Congress which joined with anti national party in Kashmir during trust vote. Blaming BJP is a shame for us, we are not safe under Congress & UPA rule, terrorists have been filled each & every smaller cities of India. So never blame BJP, blame trouble creators not party.

It is extremely funny to see how people support Sangliana just because he spoke on behalf of one community. How come you people are not noticing the fact that he is a BJP candidate himself? Isn't this sheer prejudice? just a few days back brick bats were being thrown at the BJP now because "SANGLIANA" is supporting one community he is a great man of integrity. but here's a reality check - a few days back weren't everyone from the BJP bad?

But his statement of Supporting New Life never been welcomed by Christian Roman Catholics. He should apologise to Christians first than to others. What type of politicians we have in India..!

Sangliana was popularly called the Super Cop during his tenure as Police Commissioner of Bangalore like Julio Rebeiro of Mumbai. The BJP gave him a ticket to wrest the Bangalore North Lok Sabha seat which was a Congress fortress , due to selfishness and not out of any concern for Sangliana or the community he represents.

Now because he has stood for the right and taken up and spoken for the cause of his community he has suddenly become a bad boy in the eyes of these fascists who have little or no respect for the rule of law and the Indian Constitution.They are a law unto themselves and the fit place for these anti nationals is behind prison gates.

Hats off to bold and brave Sangliana for standing up against the goondas and we should all work to see that he is re-elected to Parliament even as an independent candidate and also fund his election expenses if any secular party does not give him its ticket to contest.

No doubt, Mr.Sangliana did a lot of wonderful work for the Karnataka Govt in the past. Sure he will do a lot more good thing for the govt and definitely for the people! If elected by public and being a member of a political party, its duty to do good job for the public and thereby the party which he belongs to.

If he has no hope in the party he belongs to then definitely he should have quit the party and position given by the party. That’s being a honest citizen! It’s the party that requests him to resign and to avoid public interfering in the business! Of course aging seems to be a big issue with this old monk or is that he worries a lot loosing the power and fame when let it ped to zero by the party?

Mr. Sangliana is a man of great integrity and thats the reason why the BJP gave him a ticket. Now when he is standing by the truth his party memebers and their terror outfits are threatening him. This only shows that the BJP is a party with a communal agenda and NOT A NATIONAL PARTY as its run by religous fanatics who are only hell bent of DIVIDING THE SOCIETY. These activist who have gheraoed him have sent out a message to the aam janata of the BJP's double standards. on one hand Yeddyurappa is taking about dousing the flames on other hand his party members are reigniting the fire. The BJP must be voted out if at all this country has to remain united in the future.

A person who says Mizoram is a country don't have any right to continue as MP. He should resign as he is always double minded, he don't like to leave BJP since he knows that BJP is much stronger, also he knows that he can't get ticket from Congress as it has filled with many candidates. It's really shame on this MP even after suspending from BJP to continue as BJP MP.
