Meghalaya CM Conrad K Sangma Says Vandalism Of Churches “Unfortunate”

Condemning the recent attack on a church in Chhattisgarh, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Friday said acts of vandalism on churches are “unfortunate” and must stop at once.

A church was vandalised and six police personnel, including an IPS officer, were attacked and injured on January 2 during a protest by tribals in connection with an alleged religious conversion in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur city, police had said.

The chief minister said that Christians have been “at the receiving end” and the state governments should intervene and ensure justice is done.

The Meghalaya government has urged upon the district administration and the state governments, especially in Chhattisgarh, to intervene and ensure that those responsible for such crime be booked in accordance with law.
