8 Christian Missionaries were handed over to the Police and arrested for spreading false information about Hindu deities and excessive propaganda about Christianity and Jesus Christ in Kolhapur City. These 8 missionaries out of which 6 were local converts and 2 foreign students were distributing pamphlets containing quotes about Jesus being the only true messenger of God and that all other Gods were false. The pamphlets also contained several false examples of how Jesus Christ alone had helped people overcome difficulties in life.
When the Bajrang Dal activists were alerted about this incident, they immediately reached the spot and handed over the missionaries to the Police. Immediately Adv. F.W. Nathan of the minorities forum reached the Police Station and demanded their release on bail. Mr. Shrikant Potnis of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad warned the Minorities forum against distributing such pamphlets containing false propaganda.
Hindu Ekta Andolan and Hindu Janjagruti Samiti were also a witness to this event.
