In Bihar, a group has urged the boycott and expulsion of Christians, prompting condemnation from civil society and human rights groups.
A recent statement from a local political faction in Bihar has called for the boycott and expulsion of the Christian community in the state. The call, which was circulated on social media and local news outlets, has drawn sharp criticism from civil society organizations and human rights advocates.
The group’s leaders argue that Christians pose a threat to the cultural fabric of Bihar, citing alleged interference in local customs. However, experts warn that such rhetoric risks deepening communal tensions and violating constitutional guarantees of religious freedom.
Human rights groups have urged the state government to intervene and protect minority rights. They also called for an independent inquiry into the origins of the call and its potential impact on social harmony.
The state’s chief minister has yet to issue a formal response, but several opposition leaders have pledged to monitor the situation closely and ensure that all citizens are treated equally under the law.
