Civil society group submits memorandum to Vatican on ‘targeted violence' against Christians in India
Civil society group United Christian Forum has submitted a memorandum to the Vatican about the increase in 'targeted violence and hostility' against Christians in India, The Hindu reported on Saturday. The memorandum was handed over to Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, foreign minister of the Vatican, on Thursday during his week-long visit to the country to meet Indian officials and church functionaries. It urged Gallagher to talk about attacks on Christians while meeting Indian officials. On Thursday, the archbishop held a meeting with India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. After the meeting, Jaishankar on social media said that he was pleased to meet the archbishop, adding that the two leaders had a 'good conversation about the importance of faith, and the need for dialogue and diplomacy to address conflicts'. Pleased to meet Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations of the Holy See. A good conversation about the importance of faith, and the need for dialogue and diplomacy to address conflicts. 🇮🇳 🇻🇦 — Dr. S. Jaishankar (@DrSJaishankar) July 17, 2025 The visit comes months after the United Christian Forum released a report on January 10, which said that the number of attacks against Christians had increased from 127 in 2014 to 834 in 2024. In its memorandum submitted to Gallagher, the civil society group referred to the report on the rise in 'incidents of violence and hostility towards Christians', adding that the 'primary reason for these attacks has been false allegations of fraudulent conversions', The Hindu reported. Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh were the top two states where such allegations had led to 'either attacks on people at prayer or their illegal arrest by the police', the civil society group said citing its report. 'A large number of Catholic priests and nuns faced arrests, attacks, and legal actions in northern India,' the memorandum added, according to The Hindu. 'It is an alarming situation for missionaries.' Jose Vallikkatt, a Catholic priest based in Punjab's Bathinda city, told the newspaper that while the 'physical and mental torture is abominable, what is more alarming is the denial of religious rights of Christians. That's a constitutional violation'.

INDIA alliance ended in 2024, kept fighting against each other: Adhikari
Reacting to the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) decision to withdraw from the INDIA alliance, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and West Bengal Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, stated that the bloc ceased to exist after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and that its constituent parties continued to contest against each other in every state during the elections. "The INDI alliance was finished in 2024. After they lost in the Lok Sabha elections and PM Modi became the Prime Minister for the third term, that very day, the INDI alliance was finished. They have been fighting against each other in every state during elections..." Adhikari said, speaking to ANI. His remarks came after AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj clarified that while the party continues to support and raise key Opposition issues, it is no longer formally a part of the INDIA bloc. Speaking to ANI, Bharadwaj emphasised that even though the party coordinates with other Opposition outfits, it is no longer part of the INDIA alliance. He said, "We raise all issues of the Opposition. But we are not in the INDIA Alliance. When we contested the Lok Sabha elections, we did seat-sharing. After that, the Delhi elections took place, wherein we did not do any seat-sharing. As of now, we raise all issues of the Opposition. We coordinate with all Opposition parties, including the TMC, SP, and other parties. But we are not in the INDIA Alliance." AAP and Congress contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections together in Delhi under the INDIA alliance banner. However, the two parties fought separately in the Haryana and Delhi Assembly elections. On July 16, AAP MP Sanjay Singh also stated that the INDIA bloc was relevant only until the Lok Sabha elections. "We have clarified our position that the INDIA alliance was there till the Lok Sabha elections. As far as the Parliament is concerned, we have always been opposing all the wrong policies of the government. Currently, the issue for us is the way the homes and shops of people of Bihar, UP and Purvanchal are being bulldozed and destroyed. This is the issue we will raise in Parliament in the context of Delhi," Singh told ANI. "We said that officially, the Aam Aadmi Party is not with the INDIA alliance as of today. Our alliance was for the Lok Sabha elections..." he added. The AAP MP further stated that the party will raise the issue of the alleged demolition of jhuggis in Delhi during the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The Monsoon Session of Parliament will be conducted from July 21 to August 21.
