Vicar General of Catholic Diocese of Mangalore Rev. Monsignor Denis Prabhu, told media persons at Press Club here on Thursday, said that confused and totally biased report of Justice Somasekhara Commission had silenced the witness and records submitted before the court by more than 1000 Christians and secular petitioners regarding the fundamentalists' attack on Churches and institutions.
Although Bajarangadal and Hindu fundamental outfits claimed that they are responsible for the attacks and the police witnessed the same, the clean chit had been given. Police, who acted cruelly and inhumanly with women, children and elderly Christians, have also been given a clean chit. Moreover, the District Administration and the Government which did not take any steps to avoid the attacks, has also been cleared off, he said.
“We protest against the recommendation of the Commission to keep tight control and check on the audit records of Christian Churches and pastors, although the Commission has said that there were no incidents of conversion through force and fraud,” he said.
Despite the then convener of Bajarang Dal confessing that their motto was to create a Hindu nation, the Commission has not given any recommendations to control the Hindu fundamental outfits which are against secularism, he said.
The Senior Pastor of CSI Church of Karnataka Diocese and Head of the Gorigudda Hebik Memorial Church Rev Samuel Jathanna, President of Karnataka Missions Network Walter Maben, PRO of Mangalore Diocese Fr William Menezes, Coorporator Mariamma Thomas, CODP Director Fr Onil Fernadese and others were present at the press meet.
