In Assam, a Hindu group has issued threats to Christian schools, demanding the removal of religious symbols or face severe repercussions.
According to Muslim Mirror report, an unidentified Hindu group has purportedly issued an ultimatum to Christian schools across Assam, demanding the elimination of religious emblems such as crosses, chapels, and statues from their premises.
The threats, conveyed through anonymous letters, underscore the gravity of the situation if the stipulated conditions are not met.
Christian schools and organizations have voiced profound apprehension over these threats, asserting that they contravene the principles of religious freedom and undermine the country’s secular foundation.
These institutions maintain a responsibility to uphold the tenets of their respective faiths, with their symbols and structures serving as integral components of religious education.
The mandated removal of these symbols is perceived as an infringement upon the fundamental rights of religious minorities.
The Assam government has taken cognizance of the situation and reassured the Christian community of adequate security measures.
Local authorities have initiated investigations to apprehend the perpetrators, with heightened vigilance and protection measures being enforced by law enforcement agencies.
