The Government of India has criticised the state governments of Orissa and Karnataka over their failure to control violence by Hindu radical groups.

中央政府部門已依法發出一個警告信函，警告倘若暴力攻擊行為仍無法中止，中央政府將被迫對州政府採取行動

The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a warning under Article 355 that it would be compelled to take action against the state governments if violence did not cease.

根據報導，好戰的二個印度教派Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)與 Bajrang Dal 正在印度各地暴力殘害基督徒。

According to reports, militant Hindu groups the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal have persecuted Christians in various parts of the country.

 

在Orissa州，有數百間教會被燒毀 數百位基督徒被殺害，現在好戰的二個印度教派Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)與 Bajrang Dal，正將其血腥的暴力攻擊行為蔓延到印度南部的Mangalore州及印度全國各地

Hundreds of churches were burned and Christians murdered in Orissa state before Bajrang Dal and VHP shifted their attention to south India , where the ongoing violence in Mangalore and other areas has been deplored countrywide.

The National Commission for Minorities said that there are “serious lapses” on the part of the Karnataka government in controlling the attacks on churches and prayer halls throughout the state.

激進的印度教派Bajrang Dal 召集人與部分唆使暴力攻擊行為的警察人員可望被逮捕。

It has sought the arrest of Bajrang Dal state convener Mahendra Kumar, who has claimed responsibility for many of the attacks, and action against the police personnel who allegedly abetted violence

Recent anti-Christian violence in Karnataka and in the eastern state of Orissa have led to calls for a ban on Bajrang Dal and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
