Christian leaders in the central Indian Chhattisgarh state say police have regi-stered their complaint against a state legislative member following four months of persuasion after the politician allegedly in-sulted Jesus Christ. State police registered the complaint by Chhattisgarh’s Christian Forum against legislative member Raymuni Bhagat on Jan. 7. Forum president Arun Pannalal said the police acted after refusing to accept the complaint since Septem-ber. “We are satisfied with the development as we ran from pillar to post to register our complaint,” Pannalal said. He added the administration was favouring the culprit by not registering the complaint. Pannalal told on Jan. 8 that police were forced to accept the complaint following the intervention of the local court. Bhagat, a member of the Hindu-leaning Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is accused of making remarks denigrating Christianity in a programme organized in Dhengni village on Sept 1. Bhagat, who represents the Jashpur constituency, made fun of Jesus Christ, saying: “Christ was nailed to the cross…he couldn’t remove the nails, how do you expect Christ will remove your problems.”
