On December 11th, an unidentified man armed with a machete barged into a church in Karnataka's Belagavi and chased the priest in charge. CCTV footage shows that the man with the weapon was following Father Francis D’Souza. The perpetrator eventually fled the scene, unable to get close enough to the Father. On the same day, members of the Christian community in Srinivaspur town of Kolar district were reportedly going door-to-door to distribute some religious texts, described by some news agencies as Christmas cards, when members of right-wing Hindu groups protested and set the texts ablaze. These incidents come a day before the state Assembly meets for the Winter Session in Belagavi. A controversial anti-conversion bill is tabled to be discussed this session, with a likelihood of it being passed. Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai stated that the government will not let Churches misuse someone’s poverty to lure them into converting to Christianity.
