Sagar Christians call for protection after fiery protest

A Catholic bishop has sought protection for the Christian community in the central Indian Madhya Pradesh State after Hindu nationalists marched through the streets waving burning torches and denouncing missionaries.

The marchers on Nov. 10 accused Sagar district authorities of not acting upon complaints they filed against missionaries for violating a law that restricts religious conversions.

They issued an ultimatum that if the administration failed to act within a fortnight they would start an indefinite strike in front of a Catholic Church run orphanage in the diocese.
