Back in 2003, during a hearing in the Graham Staines murder case, a woman witness, Hemlata Karua, told a trial court that she had converted to Christianity under Staines’s influence and that he had tried to outrage her modesty. She told the judge that she and her husband had been to a church in their village where they met Graham Staines and his wife in October 1998.
The locals were reportedly being lured with money and job offers to convert to Christianity. They were also being instructed not to worship Hindu deities.
Locals said that the missionaries gave them bottles filled with special water and advised them to drink it for 20 days. They also asked locals to chant 'Hallelujah'.
The Gond and Baiga tribal children were fully converted to Christianity. They pray to Jesus, hold Bibles, and follow Christian rituals. The Baiga tribe, which is already facing extinction in many regions, is reportedly being aggressively targeted by such missionaries.
Dang and Tapi, two districts in the southeastern part of Gujarat, are deeply affected by the illegal conversion of unsuspecting tribals living in rural areas
From hearing disabilities to HIV-AIDS, paralysis to even Cancer, Prophet Bajinder Singh claims to have healed people with these conditions using his ‘Hallelujah’ miracles in his Changai Sabhas (healing congregations).
The Christian Missionaries in UP have set their eyes on a new target: vulnerable Muslims, who could be lured into eschewing their faith for Christianity.
VHP district president Tekram Bhandari said in a statement, "The tribal communities have long been rooted in their traditions and culture. We will not tolerate any illegal conversions in the district. The administration must take strict action against those engaged in such activities."
Not only the BJP MLA but several netizens have also been discussing and posting memes about why the “Bolne Lagi” fame Pastor Bajinder Singh and other such Indian Pentecostal pastors who claim to possess miraculous healing powers so much so that they boast of curing critical illnesses like cancer, paralysis, and even raising the dead, are not using their ‘supernatural powers’ to heal the Pope.
