The President expressed her worry at the continued developments in Karnataka and Orissa, besides increasing violence against Christians in other states like MP, Gujarat, Chattisgarh, etc. She was specially appreciative of Justice Michael Saldanha’s scathing report, which indicted the real culprits behind the Karnataka attacks against the community. The President was shocked at the persecution, being documented by The CSF, giving almost an attack daily on Christians since the last over 4 years. Mrs. Patil said there was need to assure this microscopic minority community that India, being constitutionally a secular state, stood for freedom of faith for all religions. Hence, she asked to convey to Indian Christians that she was equally hurt on the persecution and would do what best could be done to remedy the situation.
