Unknown miscreants vandalized a chruch- St. Michael’s Church in Mahim area of Mumbai in Maharastra.

Videos on Social media showed crosses built above the graves at the cemetery connected to St. Michael’s Church in Mahim, Mumbai vandalised.

Christians in India are furious over the cemetery’s intentional desecration/defiling, Muslim Mirror reported.

The community says there has been an increase in the tendency of destroying Christian symbols, which is affecting the community’s religious beliefs.

Clyde Crasto, Nationalist Congress Party spokesperson, condemned the event and requested Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and the Mumbai Police to take “immediate cognisance” of the issue.

“This act seems like a deliberate attempt to pressurize and disturb the peace loving Catholic community in Mumbai,” Crasto tweeted.

On Monday, a protest against alleged religious conversion in the tribal-dominated area targeted a church on the grounds of a private school in Narayanpur city in Chhattisgarh.

Protesters also assaulted Narayanpur Superintendent of Police Sadanand Kumar and five police officers who were attempting to disperse the crowd.

Six arrests were made in the case of Chattisgarh.
