    • Groups opposing missionaries have put up three anti-Christian hoardings in Bastar district in central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, sternly warning the Christians not to preach about Jesus Christ in the area.
    • Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI) news reported that the Hindu extremists are allegedly from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) or literally World Hindu Council and Bajrang Dal, a youth wing of the VHP, who are known for their anti-Christian stance in the past.

    • The signboard put up in three different places said, “Preaching about Jesus Christ is strictly prohibited in the area, and a penalty of 1,130 Indian rupees (about 23 U.S dollars) will be imposed on those found guilty.” The hoardings also have pictures of Hindu deities along with names of the extremists group, EFI reported.
