On 16th October, ‘Hindu Jagran Manch’ said that its activists raided the church and stopped an ongoing conversion. The ‘Hindu Jagran Manch’ filed a Police complaint and demanded action against the offenders. The activists also handed over the accused Pastor Chotelal Jaiswal. (Why does the Pastor have a Hindu name ? Please note that people like this Pastor convert others but do not change their names. By doing this, it becomes easier for them to mingle with the Hindus and convert them. – Editor)

Editorial Viewpoint

Given the anti-Hindu activities of the Church, it is necessary to conduct a survey of every church in India and block the churches that engage in such activities.
