Christians Protest Against Church Attacks in Delhi
Hundreds of Christians clashed with the Delhi Police today as they protested in the heart of the capital to ask for government protection amid growing concern about rising intolerance after a series of attacks on churches.
Indian Christians hold placards as they shout slogans during a protest outside the Sacred Heart Cathedral following recent attacks on churches in New Delhi on February 5, 2015.
Members of the church said unidentified people jumped in from the main gate wall, broke opened the main gate of the church at around 3 am and ransacked the sacristy cupboards and other property.
In December last year, a church in East Delhi's Dilshad Garden area, the St Sebastian's Church, was burnt down in a fire that the police confirmed was a case of arson.
