Congress leader K.C. Venugopal has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi detailing alleged "alarming surge in violence and intimidation" against India's Christian community during Christmas. The letter cites incidents across several states, including disruptions of celebrations, attacks on churches, and harassment of worshippers, attributing these to mobs affiliated with right-wing outfits. Venugopal accused the government of "silence" and urged immediate action to protect religious freedom and prevent further violence.
