Print Agra: A church was allegedly vandalized last night in Agra in Uttar Pradesh.
The St Mary’s Church in the Agra cantonment area was allegedly broken into late last night. The police have inspected the premises.
Father Lazarus, a priest of the church, says he discovered the vandalism after he was roused from his sleep by a car alarm.
"Around 3.30 am I heard the alarm of my car. When I came out, I found all four doors of the car open and the wind-screen was smashed," said the priest.
Another priest came out and found damaged statues of Mother Mary and Baby Jesus, Father Lazarus told NDTV. He said a complaint would be filed with the police.
This is the latest in a series of attacks on churches and other Christian buildings in the last few months.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, speaking to NDTV on Tuesday, said that most of the cases had been resolved and not one has been of the majority community attacking the minority community.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing UNESCO in France this week, said that his government is committed to defending the rights and liberties of all Indians.
In February, addressing a conference organised by Christian groups in Delhi, Mr Modi had said, "My government will not allow any group belonging to majority or minority to incite hatred against others."
