A Christmas decoration being vandalised in Raipur NEW DELHI: Just a day after causing disruptions to Christmas celebrations nationwide, Hindu outfits took part in a mahapanchayat in Gurugram on Friday to warn against the construction of a church.At the panchayat comprising several villages, VHP and Bajrang Dal leaders questioned the construction, arguing that the local Christian population was “less than 1 percent compared to about 10,000 Hindu families”.Yashwant Shekhawat from Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Surendra Tawar from Bajrang Dal said there were “no Christian families” living around the village, as quoted by news agency PTI.The groups and some villagers said they feared the church could be a front for religious conversion activities.Sandeep Kumar, head of Teekli village, said land was bought from a local farmer by members of the Christian community and an application for change of land use was later submitted, which was initially rejected. He further said that the assurances were given that no church would be built on the land, but the land use change was later approved and construction work was started.A 52-member committee was formed during the meeting. The committee decided it would meet the Gurugram deputy commissioner on Monday and submit a memorandum addressed to the chief minister, outlining their objections to the construction.Hooliganism on ChristmasReports of vandalism emerged during Christmas celebrations in several states. Incidents were reported from Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Odisha, where Christian groups alleged vandalism, intimidation and harassment during Christmas events. In Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, a BJP official was accused of assaulting a visually impaired Christian woman during a children’s feast, and church services were disrupted by groups. In Palakkad, Kerala, an RSS worker was reported to have attacked children singing carols and damaged their musical instruments, while pressure from right-wing groups led some schools to cancel Christmas programmes.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah hit out at Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan over his “North Indian bulldozer justice” remark in context of the eviction drive at a Bengaluru colony. Sidda called Vijayan’s remark as “politically motivated”, adding that it lacked “understanding of the factual situation.””There is a fundamental difference between ‘bulldozer justice’ and the lawful removal of illegal encroachments. The criticism being made by Pinarayi Vijayan is politically motivated and reflects a lack of understanding of the factual situation,” the Karnataka CM said.Defending the eviction drive, Sidda said that the “place suitable for human habitation”, adding that “temporary shelter, food, and other essential facilities would be arranged for all those affected.””Several people had illegally erected makeshift shelters at the waste-disposal site in the Kogilu Layout near Yelahanka in Bengaluru. It is not a place suitable for human habitation. Despite issuing notices on multiple occasions directing the families to relocate, the residents failed to comply. Under these circumstances, it became unavoidable to clear the encroachment and vacate the site,” he said.The response came after Vijayan, in a Facebook post, criticised the demolition of Fakir Colony and Waseem Layout in Bengaluru. Vijayan described the action as “extremely shocking and painful,” claiming that Muslims had been residing in the areas for years and accusing the Karnataka government of following a “North Indian bulldozer justice model.” He also questioned how the Congress-led government in Karnataka could justify carrying out forced evictions rather than ensuring housing for the poor. Terming the demolitions an example of “anti-minority aggressive politics,” Vijayan said it was surprising to witness such actions under a Congress administration. Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar also criticised the Kerala CM “should know the issues in Bengaluru”. “Senior leaders like Pinarayi Vijayan should know the issues in Bengaluru. We know our city well, and we don’t want to entertain slums that promote land mafia activities,” he said.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
