Mangalore, Apr 9: The like-minded people of various unions will hold a protest meet in front of DC’s office on Monday April 11 at 4 pm to condemn various false allegations including that of conversion on some of the institutions involved in social service.
Some of the leaders and social workers informed the same through a press conference here on Saturday April 9. Such atrocities made on the Christian organizations have hurt the community and also has resulted in disturbance, they alleged.
When the wound caused by attack on churches is still fresh in the minds of Christians, the people with crude intentions are again trying to disturb the peaceful situation in Mangalore. It is evident through the series of untoward incidents that have taken place recently, said Mariamma Thomas, corporator and social worker.
False allegation of conversion on the owner of Jillus Caterers, attack on Ebenezer prayer hall in Haleyangady, attack on orphanage run by Lancelot Pinto, and recent attack on Stella Maris school children near PVS Circle all have been pre-planned and falsely targeted by miscreants to damage communal harmony, she said and questioned whether the government has given any contract to Bajrang Dal activists to safeguard the society in their own way.
She also said that the Christian institutions are doing social works and providing food, education and shelter to the needy and that is being stopped by Bajrang Dal activists and other harmful people.
