Rising Attacks on Christians Amid Christmas Celebrations

During the Christmas season, there have been many attacks on Christians in India.

The leader of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, Archbishop Andrews Thazhath, made a video asking the Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Chief Ministers to protect Christians.

He was sad because peaceful Christians singing carols and praying were targeted, causing fear.

The CBCI said these attacks are wrong and asked the leaders to enforce the law and protect Christian communities.

In Assam, four people from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal were arrested for damaging Christmas decorations at a school and a shop.

Similar incidents happened in other places like Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh.

Some political leaders, like Derek O'Brien and Shashi Tharoor, criticized the government for not speaking up about these incidents.

The VHP also asked Hindus not to celebrate Christmas.

These events have made many people worried and upset.
