NDA government

Jubel D’Cruz’s observation that “Christians are targeted and nuns molested” in his letter in A.V. of 4-4-2015 deserves immediate action by NDA government, to reassure Christians. Otherwise, it may snowball into loss of votes/ defeat of NDA in next general elections. Minorities may join hands on basis of anti BJP/NDA propaganda.
Let me assure Jubel D’Cruz that BJP/NDA cannot be anti Christian, because India is ruled on secularism, and Articles 25 and 29, enshrined in India’s Constitution and implemented by government.
In reality, Hindus are more persecuted directly and indirectly by incumbent rulers. Thousands of temples are destroyed by Moguls, whereas Hindus cannot reclaim three sites at Kashi, Mathura and Ayodhya! In 1920, Hindus were massacred for Khilafat movement in Iran. Pakistan was created on word of single Muslim-M. Jinah. Hindus were massacred on Direct action Day.
Recently, Hindus got no sympathy after 59 Hindus were burnt alive by Muslims, in Godhra incident. Hindus were murdered and driven out of Kashmir in 1989 ethnic cleansing by Muslims. Hindus are still rotting in refugee camps! “Reservation” issue where deserving Hindus are rejected for jobs and education facilities. Christians should reject evil/anti government propaganda meant to alienate them from well meaning government.
