While the attacks on churches and other minority institutions continue in various parts of the country, Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said everything will be done to ensure their security.
Commenting on the recent attacks on churches, the Home Minister said, “I will go to any extent to protect minorities. I will do everything to end the sense of insecurity prevailing among minorities.”
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader made the statements on the sidelines of a function in Attari, Punjab.
“Whether it is an attack on a temple, mosque or any other religious place, whatever action is required, we will take that strongly,” he told the reporters.
Rajnath’s assurance comes in the wake of recent attacks on churches and other minority institutions in India.
A church was allegedly vandalised in Haryana and an aged nun allegedly raped at a convent in West Bengal in the last fortnight.
A cathedral premises and a Catholic school where people had gathered for a religious convention were vandalised allegedly by Hindu activists at Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh on March 20.
