INOC condemns violence against Christians in Orissa, K`taka

Toronto, Oct 4 (PTI) The Canadian chapter of Indian National Overseas Congress (I.N.O.C.) has condemned the recent incidents of violence against Christians in Orissa and Karnataka.

"The recent violence by the Hindu radicals allegedly
V.H.P., Sangh Parivar and the B.J.P. has trampled the rights
of minorities in gross violations of human rights," I.N.O.C.
(Canada) President Jay Banerjee said in a statement.

Banerjee said that the entire Christian community of
the world was "shocked and dismayed" over these incidents.

Accusing the saffron groups of playing vote bank
politics by fomenting communal tension, he said, "such acts
are not only loathsome, despicable, contemptible, and
unconstitutional but are also against humanity, peace, love,
and harmony."

"Every Indian is morally responsible for these
killings, rapes and the merciless torching of homes
perpetrated against Christians," Banerjee added.
