Christian representatives meet West Bengal RSS leader over mob attacks on congregations and churches

Kolkata A delegation of Bangiya Christiya Pariseba (BCP), an interfaith forum representing Christians, on Wednesday (November 4, 2026) met senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader of West Bengal Jishnu Saha and raised the issue of recent mob attacks on congregations and churches. The delegation led by the organisation, state secretary Herod Mullick sought Mr.

Basu’s intervention to put an end to the ongoing hostilities. “The delegation highlighted serious concerns regarding the recent wave of attacks, vandalism, and inhumane persecution targeting mainline churches, house churches, pastors, and believers across several districts of West Bengal over the past 4–5 months, often fuelled by false allegations of forced conversions through inducement,” a press statement by the BCP said.

Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Basu, the Saha Khetra Prachar Pramukh of South Bengal, said that dialogue will continue with the representatives of Christian organisations but there are genuine concerns about forced conversions.
