A pastor from Odisha’s Dhenkanal was hit, forced to eat cow dung, and made to chant Jai Shri Ram by members of the Bajrang Dal.

The incident, reported by Maktoob Media, took place on January 4 when the pastor, along with his family and a few others, was attending a prayer meeting at a house in Parjang village.

A mob of around 40 people gathered outside and forcibly entered the house of Pastor Bipin Bihari Naik.

“They started beating everyone inside the house. Besides us, there were seven families who were praying with us. My children and I managed to run out of the house and rushed through a narrow alley towards the nearest police station,” said Vandana, Naik’s wife.

Naik, narrating the incident, said he was beaten with sticks by the crowd and red sindoor was smeared all over his face. He was also forced to wear a garland of slippers and paraded throughout the village.

Vandana said that despite repeated requests, the police refused to come immediately and help her husband.

Would Charlie Kirk ask the same question you did regarding this brutal incident?

More persecution of Christians by Hindus. Started in earnest about 30 years ago, and has slowly ramped up. The Christian Church is the third largest religious community in India, after Hindu and Islam.

What do you expect from a cult that worships cows?

It’s a good thing the turd world turds give up all their home cultures, that turned their entire nations in to gigantic open sewer, when they step foot on magical whitey soil.

red sindoor was smeared all over his face

In their culture, sindoor is a red powder worn by women along their hairline to indicate that they are widowed.
