All India Christian Council -Press Release
From :<aiccdelhi@gmail.com>
 
Two House Churches Attacked in Himachal, Police Refused to Take Complaint

Regional Secretary

New Delhi, April 17, 2007 (All India Christian Council)

Hindu fanatics attacked two churches at Shirad Valley and Krotal Village in Manali district of Himachal Pradesh on April 9, 2007 while both the churches were celebrating the Easter Sunday services.


Sources told the All India Christian Council that, while worship led by Pastor Yona Babu at Shirad Valley was going on, a group of 60 people belonging to Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council) forcefully entered the room and sat among church members.

Pastor Babu reported to the All India Christian Council that after few minutes, one among them stood up and started abusing Pastor Babu with false allegation of force and fraudulent conversion. “They insisted that I denounce my Christian faith and forced me to burn the Bible inside the church,” said Pastor Babu.


When Pastor Babu refused to burn the Bible and denounce his Christian faith, the mob started beating him. He was severely beaten and was unconscious for ten minutes.

The VHP mob also warned church members to denounce their Christian faith otherwise they would face the consequences. “Church members were strong in their faith and they testified the reason why they were following Jesus,” said Pastor Babu. The church musical instruments were stolen by the mob.


On the way back, the VHP mob went to another house church at Krotal near Manali and stopped the prayer meeting. Members were warned to stop gathering otherwise they would face the consequences.

Rev. Sam Abraham, State Secretary of All India Christian Council of Himachal Pradesh, called Pastor Babu and found out that he did not register any complaint in the police station as he did not have any affiliated church body to help him.


Later, with the initiative of the All India Christian Council, Pastor Babu went to Kullu Police Station to lodge a complaint against the culprits but it was reported that the complaint was refused by police personnel. Later a complaint letter addressed to the District Collector of Manali was submitted.

The Station House Officer, Mr. Sarwan Chandel of Kullu Police Station, pretended to be ignorant of the incident but later he told the All India Christian Council that the District Collector has instructed him to enquire into the matter.


In spite of instructions from the District Collector to Mr. Chandel, no action has been taken to trace the culprits.

Mr. Chandel assured the All India Christian Council that a team of police forces would be sent within short time to conduct an enquiry.


Rev. Abraham said he is frustrated with the police. He said, “When any allegation is made against Christians, police immediately take action but the case is different when Christians complain.”

Rahul On Mumbai; Shanghai in 2012, Olympics In 2016
   
People of India didn’t believe Manmohan Singh when he emphatically announced “Rahul is future of India” that though every one in Congress Party knew that seconds after his birth.

Maharashtra these days has sent highbred political siblings from Milind to Sule to siblings of Promod Mahajan, Priyanka Dutt while Kalmadi and even Sharad Pawar consider themselves young with years of politics left in them. Majority of them are under employed and without Cabinet rank.

It is natural when Sachin Tendulkar have no idea of his leg stump or off stump and throws out his pads four feet in front to every ball he faces than bat considers he has five years of cricket left in him, Maharashtra is experiencing crisis every where.

The highbred bred siblings ignored the party affiliations of their fathers were united in their opinion only Rahul could find a job for them. Rahul was quick to respond and convened a brain storming session of young leaders from Maharashtra. The young brigade wanted some challenging assignments and all wanted to turn Mumbai in to Shanghai by 2012 and organize 2016 Olympics in Mumbai even as Delhi was the approved venue for bidding.

In case International Olympics Association ignores Indian bid, they were of the opinion to play “Molympics” in 2015 considering Mukesh Ambani already has $10b spare to for the event and can take full responsibility for organizing it. This will also coincide with silver jubilee of Dhirubhai’s departure for Yemen and earn his first million.

While brain storming Milind informed Rahul that Slums of Mumbai are the biggest problem that jeopardy their dream to turn Mumbai in to Shanghai and bid for Olympics 2016 or Molympics to commemorate silver jubilee of the historic visit of Dhirubhai Ambani.

Rahul then asked Sule a social activist how many people live in Slums but she informed that her NGO was meant to collect donations only so had little idea. At this Rahul called R. V. Shahi the ex. Chairman of BSES who was selling electricity in slums also therefore had more accurate information about the numbers that his BSES also used to conduct 50 vigilance raids a day throughout Mumbai than corrupt municipality that normally listed 50% to 100% more people in ration cards.

R. V. Shahi gave very accurate figures. He told Rahul 50% of population in Mumbai lives in slums that consume 30% of electricity and water and occupy 25% of public land.

Rahul then called Chairman of MHADA about the water and power problem and was informed about the critical shortages of 20% electricity and 20% water.

Rahul and all brainstormers were disappointed because IOA will not allow Olympics in Mumbai where 50% of the population toilet on the rail tracks every day that is short of electricity and water.

It was not that IOA was concerned about inadequate sanitary conditions in Mumbai but was more worried of Olympic Tourists instead of buying tickets to fill the stadiums may actually go for free show. Even more worrying was the possibility of slum dwellers also interested in sports might camp outside stadiums and use their lawns for their daily morning exercises. Developed countries though have devised very effective grass cutting machines but no one has worked on early morning menace.

Rahul was in deep thoughts and all appeared frustrated after long deliberations. An aid of Rahul passed on a chilled Coca Cola that relaxed him, cooled his throat and its sweet taste trigger vigorous activity in his brain cells.

Like Archimedes he struck a brilliant idea and called Milind, Can’t we shift all the slums of Mumbai to Reliance SEZ that was a source of acute embarrassment to Congress Party already. He came up with quick figures and informed Rahul slums occupy only 80 sq. kms and Reliance SEZ area is 240 sq. km. Rahul was thrilled to discover Reliance could easily resettle all the slums of Mumbai in his SEZ area.

Suddenly the group had a brilliant idea. They started rolling out the benefits of this master stoke of Rahul’s genius. They all agreed 30% of water and electricity can be saved and Mumbai shall be surplus in power, electricity, suburban trains would no longer be crowded, rail tracks will be clean.

Obviously on clearing all slums it will be days before Mumbai would turn in to Shanghai.

Mukesh Ambani who was the first to offer his sources to help congress form the government will not decline the possibility of shifting all Mumbai slums to his SEZ area and contribute to a national cause.

Rahul called Mukesh and explained his idea. Mukesh was quick to latch it on the idea and like his brilliant father agreed with condition, he may be allowed to develop 75% of the area for residential purpose than 25% for SEZ than provided in the act. Rahul assured him Manmohan Singh would accept his demand; he is used to amend laws on daily basis.

Star Campaigner for Congress, Rahul was called in to campaign for the party in ongoing elections to the most important state that elected majority of Indian prime minister and had no time meet the busy prime minister to share his hot ideas with him.

Yesterday Chopper of PM and Rahul campaign vehicle were at the same venue. After the meeting was over they both went to a government circuit house for lunch and relaxation.

Manmohan Singh the PM was deeply embarrassed by deaths in firing on farmers unwilling to part with their land, daily suicide of farmers, stagnant food production, spreading poverty and hunger, widening trade deficit etc. was looking for a opportunity to let Rahul take over the charge from him.

The very suggestion of Rahul to shift Mumbai slums to Reliance SEZ excited Manmohan Singh and he was so thrilled without asking Sonia, mother of Rahul and without discussing it with any of his cabinet colleagues, he announced at the very next meeting, “Rahul is future of India”, it was celebration time for Congress Party workers who too believe their future is in Rahul, Manmohan Singh was just an interim arrangement.

On return from campaign Rahul may get an offer to lead India, Manmohan Singh resigning in his favor to let him implement his brilliant ideas.

Bangladesh: Sovereign Or Subsidiary?
By Anu Muhammad

Global capital is in confrontation with people all over the world, among others, on three issues: (a) whether people and the country should own and have authority over their own lives and natural resources or global corporates should be allowed to take over; (b) Whether natural resources should be used or preserved for the maximum utilization for the development of the country or to be extracted in a big way to maximize profit of foreign big companies; and (c) whether resources will remain common property or turned into private property of corporates. Bangladesh needs to answer these too

"The court finds that Muslims have ceased to be a minority religious community in the state of Uttar Pradesh on consideration of the materials on record which includes various census reports of 1951 and 2001 and, therefore, directs the state of Uttar Pradesh to treat any member of Muslim community equal to other non minority religious communities…" This is the line of the famous and important judgment given by the Allahabad high court on April 5, 2007
