We call on Mr Pal Singh to apologise to Mr Staines’ family and issue a correction to his comments in the Lok Sabha, so that they are also included in the parliamentary record. @MikeGhouse @mikepompeo @StateIRF @USCIRF @Jos_Douma @TonoEPP @EPPGroup @IPP_FoRB @APPGreligion @ERLC

During the parliamentary debate on 21 September, Mr Pal Singh accused Mr Staines and his “disciples” of molesting 30 girls belonging to local tribes in Odisha and converting them to Christianity. He cited this as the main reason for his murder and as justification for stringent
amendments to the law on the basis forced conversions are still being perpetrated by Christians missionaries.@asadowaisi @Pontifex @eu_forb @HumanRightsIRL @HumanRightsCtte @EURightsAgency @karwanemohabbat @ChrisVanHollen @Sen_JoeManchin @JimInhofe @freedomhouse @FRCdc @SenWarren
Mr Staines was an Australian missionary who was burnt to death along with his two sons, Timothy, 8, and Philip, 10, by Hindu extremists on 23 January 1999. Mr Staines was 55 years-old at the time and had been working with leprosy patients in India for more than 30 years. @UN
The killings were described by the then-President of India Kocheril Raman Narayanan as “a monumental aberration of time-tested tolerance and harmony. The killings belong to the world’s inventory of black deed.” @CatholicNewsSvc @cnalive @FOXTV @RandPaul @SenJackyRosen @pbhushan1
