Christians are concerned that a 16-point questionnaire<\/a> given by the police to at least 40 churches in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, may be used as a weapon by radical Hindus to harm them.<\/p>\n Church leaders claim that because only Christians received the police’s surveys, they are invasive and biassed.<\/p>\n Bishop Chacko Thottumarickal of the Indore Catholic Diocese believes that the questionnaires are “suspicious” and not made in a “good spirit.”<\/p>\n The questionnaire inquires about the goals of Christian endeavours as well as whether church authorities have observed any dubious conversions.<\/p>\n It also queries if any NGOs are operated by Christians and whether they are supported by funding from abroad.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are law-and-order problems related to religious conversions that often happen, so these details are being collected and processed to timely address communal problems,\u201d said a police officer<\/a> from Indore.<\/p>\n The majority of the churches have now started holding their meetings online as a result of police gathering information on evangelism and other activities.<\/p>\n Sunday gatherings are not held on the church grounds, according to Pastor Baljit Singh from Indore, who spoke to Morning Star News<\/a>. \u201cUntil the situation gets better, we will continue the services online,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
