"The very killers of Mahatma Gandhi are the same killers of Christians in Orissa, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and other parts of the country," declared prominent scholar and peace activist Swami Agnivesh at the rally, according to All India Christian Council (AICC).
According to a Christian Post report, "The rally was the highlight of a five-day protest that began on Sunday. The event is known as a dharna and is an Indian method of seeking justice. Traditionally, those seeking justice sit at the door of their wrongdoer and fast until they obtain justice."
The chief minister of Delhi, Smt. Sheila Dixit also showed her support of the protest by publicly condemning the Hindu fanatics who are responsible for killing dozens of Christians and burning hundreds of Christian homes, businesses and churches.
