Mangalore Still Tense..

The situation is still tense in Mangalore following the attack on several churches on the 14th of September 2008 by Bajrang Dal and VHP activists. This led to violent protest by the Christians on Monday and it was accompanied with the Police lathi charges. Still no action has been taken by the Karnataka government against the culprits. The Chief Minister B. S. Yeddyurappa has defended the Bajrang Dal and VHP activities by saying that the attacks have taken place in areas where conversions were taking place. The wounds of the attacks on the Christian communities in Orissa are yet to be healed. Now it has surfaced in the state of Karnataka and also in Kasargod District in Kerala. When will the government take appropriate steps to tackle these problems? It seems that the Government also wishes to see the churches and properties of Christians to be attacked and demolished.
