Christian school in Vasant Vihar vandalised, Kejriwal vows tough action


New Delhi, Feb 13 (Agencies) : In yet another incident which raises concerns over safety of institutions linked to the minorities, a Christian school located in south Delhi's Vasant Vihar was vandalised by some unknown persons late on Thursday.

According to reports, the window of the Holy Child Auxilium School principal's room was broken and the CCTV cameras installed there were also damaged by some unidentified persons.

The police, which is now probing the matter, has claimed that it may be a case of theft.

Delhi CM-designate and AAP leader Arvind Kjeriwal has strongly condemned the incident and said that such acts won't be tolerated.

Meanwhile, Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani, who studied in this school, is also expected to visit the school shortly.

In view of the incident, all classes were cancelled today and the security has been tightened.

"Certain people came at night, broke the CCTV camera, went into the principal's room and vandalised it," Father Dominic Emmanuel, spokesperson of the Delhi Archdiocese, was quoted as saying.

He further alleged that the incident is in line with a series of attacks on churches in Delhi.

After massive protests by Christian groups, Home Minister Rajnath Singh tightened security around churches and other religious institutions.

    need to punish the culprits in such a way that it should be eye opener for rest of the stupids.

    all idiotic people like togadia,bukhari,oswai,kalladka,should be banned from any public appearence for rest of their life.

    all conversion / anti conversion to be stopped.

    breeding like rats... no words to explain ....

    automatically jobless people will be reduced.... this kind of nonsense will be stopped.

    AND AS A NEUTRAL PERSON, I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS CHURCH ATTACH EPISODES ( NOW IN DELHI & IN MANGALORE IN THE PAST ) may not be by chaddis..... why they should invite the wrath... i feel that it is the work of anti BJP people to polarize Christians against BJP.

    unfortunately many Christians are not realizing the dangers of radical /fanatic movement for whole mankind & just think that togadia/kalladka represent hindu mentality, which is not actually true.

    in spite of this kind of political mischief, india was & is a better place to live for hindu /muslim /christian/jain... than any of those "peace loving countries".

    india can tackle togadia /kalladaka /VHP... with little effort. just by handling cattle thieves in mangalore, VHP /BD will become jobless... believe me, just a small step like this will make kalladka cheddiless....

    but even if whole world units, you cant solve ISIS / taliban..

    ultimately those "peace loving people" with cruelty against humanity & involved in maximum voilence anywhere in the world will perish fighting each other.

    let kejriwal take firm action against church attackers, whoever they are should be punished.

    These things will be continued till the BJP on power, as the Delhi police is under Central govt. More and more vandalism, communal tensions are anticipated in further days. I don't think Kejriwal can control this and may be he will run away this time also because he cannot concentrate on development and other major issues of Delhi. AAP govt will be suffered by these kind of activities on daily basis and police will not co-operate with State govt.

    My appeal to Christian brothers and sisters - Until people give communal colour to every and all such incidents, vested interests will always misuse this to misguide the people further into believing that religion is under threat. As per Delhi police, there were 26,000 theft cases in Hindu temples in India in 1 year alone. I have not seen a single case being given communal colour. When it is a Christian school or church it suddenly becomes an attack on the religion. What does it take for Chrisitans to consider the possibility that parties or groups that you overtly support could well be responsible for such scandalous and cowardly incidents. Commonly attributed motive in all such cases is that Sanghis and their clan want to instill fear among minorities. Point to ponder is, if a majority want to instill fear, will they resort to cowardly acts. You can just ask fellow Christians in Pakistan on how fear is instilled. Regardless of all the things vested interests and newstraders wants us to believe, I feel India is a very safe country for minorities, courtesy the peace loving outlook of the moderate majority. by unnecessarily falling for the misguided news by the propogandists, you will only alienate yourselves from the moderate majority. That is my fear.
