Raipur: A local Hindutva leader and media influencer, Aaadesh Soni, has threatened mass attacks on Christians, including sexual assault against women, in Chhattisgarh, India, on March 1.<\/p>\nRaipur: A local Hindutva leader and media influencer, Aaadesh Soni, has threatened mass attacks on Christians, including sexual assault against women, in Chhattisgarh, India, on March 1.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the targeting of the Christian community includes attacking, raping women and killing them in the villages of Bishrampur, Ganeshpur and Jhanakpur, in Chhattisgarh. Soni accuses them of \u2018brainwashing children\u2019 through conversions.<\/p>\n
In a video that has gone viral, Soni said at least 50,000 people will mobilise\u2019 to \u2018target Christian families, execute their leaders and erase all traces of their faith from the region\u2019.<\/p>\n
The video on his Meta profile and viewed by over 30,000 people shows Soni addressing an assembly of Hindutva supporters. His speech reiterated a hateful statement against Christians made in January by Swami Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati in front of a Hindu council held in the Uttar Pradesh city of Prayagraj: \u2018Kill those who kill cows without sparing anyone. Don\u2019t ask for the death penalty for them, but act yourself without waiting for the law\u2019. \u201cI have the support of the administration \u2014 added Soni \u2014 that\u2019s enough for me\u201d.<\/p>\n
Msgr. Victor Henry Thakur, Archbishop of Raipur, said: \u201cNow that Aadesh Soni\u2019s hate speech has gone viral, if there is any incident or attack in that area, it will not be an accident, but rather a clear indication that the administration has not only failed, but has allowed something to happen. In this case the government of Chhattisgarh will be fully responsible. So far the government has done nothing against Aadesh Soni,\u201d he was quoted by AsiaNews as saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
