Christian Schools in West Bengal Seek RSS Chief's Support Amid Alleged Attacks
Christian missionary schools in West Bengal have expressed concern over alleged attacks on churches, pastors, and prayer gatherings, citing incidents in Nadia, Paschim Medinipur, and Howrah districts.

The RSS denied any threats to Christian schools, stating they have adequate security. The conference also discussed educational challenges and the contributions of Christian institutions in India.
