In the South India state of Telangana the school management of Mother Teresa School run by the Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament stopped a student who was wearing a Hanuman Deeksha attire from appearing for the examination.
The National United Christian Forum met in New Delhi to discuss the matter. Participants issued a joint appeal for an austere Christmas in solidarity with the victims of violence in Manipur. Likewise, the various Churches plan to express their concerns ahead of next year’s general election as well as study the state of Christian education in the country.
