I was very concerned to read the following in the pres release:
"FIACONA noted that, though the media and civil society institutions in
India had in the past played an important role in highlighting the assaults
on Christian institutions, lately there have been reports of pressure from
the rightwing elements, on publishers, journalists and officials who have a
secular outlook. FIACONA expressed concerns that, 'as a result, the
reporting of violence and assaults against Christians in India is being
underplayed and often times goes unreported'. FIACONA noted that this trend
is a serious threat to the future of India."
This insiduous pressure from the rightwing elements has to be fought with
full rigour. And I, on my part, would like to make my own contribution by
creating the awarenes amongst my friends and relatives. It will help me if
some specific instances of pressure on publishers, journalists and officials
can be given.
