Amnesty charges Hindu groups with inciting attacks on Christians

London-based human rights group Amnesty International has expressed concern at the recurring anti-Christian attacks in India, which it said, was the result of incitement by right-wing Hindu political groups.

"Right-wing Hindu political groups and associations have failed to clearly denounce acts of violence and have made public statements which might have incited individuals to violence," Emma Blower, an official of Amnesty's South Asia Team, said in a letter to Bangiya Christiya Pariseba, an apex body of Christians in West Bengal.

Stating that her organisation had written to the Centre and state governments urging them to take steps in preventing further violence, she said, "We believe all incidents of violence should be impartially investigated and those found responsible brought to justice according to law."

Stating that Amnesty was concerned at the continuing reports of attacks on members of the Christian community, she said, "We will continue to raise concern with the authorities as appropriate."

===========================
Note:

"One really has to question the impartiality of this organisation that calls itslef Amnesty International.  It has been more than clearly established that the 'attacks' on Christians are fictional, or non-communal, or due to deep provocation, or by mischief makers who are out to destablise India.  We think that this organisation should get real.  Such so-called concern also establishes that the Christian groups are still up to their mischief of calumnising the Hindus and in the process also calumnising the country that they claim to be the citizens of.

It would be of real interest to find out what Amnesty International has to say about the situation vis-a-vis Christians in countries like Sudan and Nigeria.  It would also be of interest to find out what Amnesty International has to say about the massacre of Hindus in Kashmir."
