The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) alleged expatriate missionaries were subverting Hindu culture through forced conversions and extending support to separatist rebels in troubled areas. The VHP has also demanded that Pope John Paul apologize for supposed "atrocities committed by the church" in India during his visit to the country next month. "We shall put pressure on the Indian government to see that foreign Christian preachers leave the country soon as they are responsible for forceful conversions and propping up separatist insurgency in various areas," VHP national secretary Dharmanarayan Sharma told AFP here. "An estimated 150 billion rupees comes into various missionaries in India from abroad, which is exclusively allocated for carrying out conversions by luring and also financing rebel groups in places like the northeastern states." "The hidden agenda ... is to penetrate into new areas in India where the influence of Christianity has not spread so far." Sharma said there were roughly some 5,000 foreign missionaries in India. He also said the VHP leadership would meet in December to chalk out a "mass movement" if BJP failed to take action. -AFP
