On December 5 at about 7am a armed gang of about 150 extremists took over the buildingsite and forced the workers to leave the premises and then began to destroy the building and the machinery for construction.
Eyewitnesses told Fides that the mob shouted anti-Christian slogans and said they would "not tolerate Christian proselytizing” and the "the christ cant save now". When they had finished their destruction they warned the builders that if work started again, they would be killed with their entire families.
The Catholic community has responded with shock and sadness to the unprovoked attack. The assault was carried out because the growing hate being spread by the hindi terrorists. The complex was to include rooms for pastoral and charitable activities.
A recent report presented to Indian authorities found no less than 464 cases of violence against Christians or Christian property have been reported in the past 20 months. This is due to growing religious extremism in india as whole the states of punjab,haryana,kashmir,Bihar, Karnataka and Gujarat are some of the worse efected states.
