NEW DELHI, INDIA, January 22, 2011: Dr. John Dayal, Secretary General of the All of India Christian Council, said, ‘Although we are yet to analyse the full judgment of the Supreme Court, we are disturbed by the parts carried by the media, mentioning terms like fraud and forcible and conversion. But more than anything, we fear such remarks may negatively impact trials in Kandhamal, Orissa and future challenges to so-called ‘freedom of religion laws’ in various states.’
