BJP MLA Goolihatti Shekhar who was in news recently for raising the issue of rampant conversions in the assembly said that 40 per cent of the churches operating in the state are not officially recognised.
BJP MLA Gulihatty D Shekhar had last month revealed in state assembly about how the missionaries were carrying out rampant conversions in rural Karnataka
The apex Sikh body have been receiving flak from within the community for not doing enough to “protect” the religion against rampant conversions by Christian Missionaries.
Bishop Kattera Suresh Kumar has also been accused of misusing the benefits meant for Scheduled Castes. He was found to be benefitting from a 'Hindu-SC' certificate while being a Christian Bishop.
The concept of inculturation is deeply enshrined in Christianity. It “denotes the presentation and re-expression of the Gospel in forms and terms proper to a culture.”
BLP MLA Gulihatti Chandrashekhar explained that the missionaries primarily target the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe community and if any Hindu group or individuals try to prevent it, they are trapped in false cases of rape and caste atrocity.
