Bhopal, India: June 16, 2011. (PCP) Christian leaders from the Isai Mahasangh launched a complaint with Madhya Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer P.C. Meena against Prabath Jha, B J P State President, for his alleged inflammatory remarks made against he Christian community with reference to Jabera by-election to M.P Assembly. The congress candidate in the Jabera constituency, Dr. Tanaya Solomon is a Christian and daughter of demised MLA from this constituency Ratnesh Solomon. Before leaving for his election campaign in Jabera constituency in a press conference held in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh, he said, “Christian missionaries are involved in forceful conversions in Jabera. He asked people to retaliate to the conversions. Also asked the Government ot probe against the alleged conversions reported by the BJP candidate Dashrath Singh Lodhi.” He said that the are mass conversions going on the jabera area. Isai Mahasangh state public relations officer John Antony said, “the chief electoral officer Shri. P C Meena assured us that he will be looking into the matter. And he is of the know of the incident and action will be taken accordingly.” Fr. Anand Muttungal, coordinator of the organization, said, “ the BJP has used its communal agenda to divide the community on the communal lines. It is not he first time the issue of conversion coming up during the election, whenever there is a candidate from the community or there is a noticeable number of Christians, the issue of conversion is taken as a political agenda to divide the votes showing Christians as the demons. It is a clear violation of model code of conduct” State treasurer of the IMS, Roy John Thatta, said that it is first time Christians have raised their voice against the allegations of conversion during the election time with chief electoral officer. “Our concern is the future of Christian community and its security because the provocative speeches can negatively motivate fundamental groups to resort to violence in the state against Christians.” Said Jerry Paul State Secretary of IMS. The delegation included the Richard James, Mathew Abraham and other state office bearers.
