Indians Against Christian Aggression [IACA]

In a recent news report by the Canada's Anglican Journal, it was revealed that unseated Congress Party state government Chief Minister of Chattisgarh, Ajit Jogi, who is as suspected, a Christian convert. The report said that Jogi is in fact "a member of the Church of North India".

Jogi has been accused of planning and using state resources toward conversion campaigns in the central state of Chattisgarh in India. The issue of conversion is particularly sensitive in Chattisgarh, where more than 35 per cent of the 20-million population is composed of tribal people. Missionaries in the past have aggressively attempted to convert tribal from Hinduism often using deceptive or exploitive means. To date, missionaries have already converted over 500,000 out of the state's 20 million people.

During the election campaign Hindu groups pledged to put and end to aggressive and forced religious conversions across the nation if it came to power. Hindu groups have highlighted the wrongs of conversion in several local daily newspapers by placing ads showing a bishop forcibly converting a an indigenous tribal Hindu people are labeled as a henchman kept watch on a cage holding other tribal people to be baptized "on orders of the Pope."

The Congress Party fared badly in areas with a predominantly tribal population, where the leading BJP candidate Dilip Singh Judeo campaigned strongly against conversions. Four Indian states went to the polls Dec. 1 and the BJP won three of the four elections. The Congress Party was able to retain power only in the state of Delhi, the Indian capital.
