Christians attacked in Punjab

Punjab police detained 12 Christians including five women after Hindu extremists allegedly from the Bajrang Dal filed a compliant against them of forceful conversion on 10 July in Islamabad, Gurdaspur.

The incident took place at about 9 a.m. when the extremists opposed to the Christians visiting some people home in Islamabad Mohalla. The extremists started an argument with the Christians, verbally the Christians of their faith, beat them up with their shoes and fists and took them to the police station.

The extremists swelled up at the police station and pressured the police to file a case against the Christians. However, area Christian leaders also massed up at the police station demanding the release of the Christians.

Station House Officer of Gurdaspur Gurpinder Singh told EFI that the Christians were released without charges in the evening.



 

Verse of the Day

Psalm 18:1-2
“[The LORD Praised for Giving Deliverance.] For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said, “I love You, O LORD, my strength.” The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
