Tension grips Jamalpur following 'forced conversion'
Ludhiana Tension gripped the Economic Weaker Section (EWS) colony in
Jamalpur on the Chandigarh Road following allegations and counter
allegations of forced conversion to Christianity and subsequent
destroying of Bible scriptures.
According to sources, on late Sunday evening some persons allegedly
stormed into a small church in the EWS colony and damaged holy
scriptures. "The assailants also manhandled the members of our
community and did not spare even women," said Albert Dua of the
Christian United Federation.
But some persons from the rival group said that some members of the
church were forcibly converting a man and the mother of the man had
threatened self immolation if he was converted. But Albert Dua denied
all the allegations .
After receiving the information, the officers from the district and
police administration reached the spot and tried to pacify both
factions.
SP (Headquarters) Harish Kumar, SP City II Harjinder Singh, DSP
Harmohan Singh and the area sub divisional magistrate (SDM) were among
those who went to the area to take a stock of the situation and to
broker peace.
SSP Dr Sukhchain Singh Gill said, "The situation is fully under
control and thankfully it did not take an ugly turn. Both groups have
almost reached to an understanding and the matter is likely to be
resolved soon."
