There were no immediate reports of injuries.
"The [attackers] also made an attempt to vandalize the school property, but the timely intervention of the local police prevented the... incident," the AICU added in a statement to the BosNewsLife New Delhi Bureau. They held a meeting later in the evening and demanded "an apology from the Church" for the perceived anti Hindu article "and warned Christians that they would extend their agitation to other institutions and schools in the city," the AICU stressed. Comment: This should be an eye opener for the likes of Carlos6143 and Kaitan Rego. What happens in other parts of India can and will also happen in Goa, keep courting the BJP at your own peril. cheers. Gabe Menezes London England.
