What the petition asks
Since Hindu Nationalist Party (BJP) ruling India minority's are treated very badly . Christian freedom of faith exercise many areas demolished . Churches , Mosque and Guruwdara no more protected in India .
Indian Christians were harassed, threatened or attacked for their faith in 410 reported incidents (248 in the first quarter) – almost as many as the total for the whole of 2016 (441). This is according to figures compiled by partners of Open Doors, the global charity which monitors the treatment of Christians worldwide to produce an annual World Watch List of the 50 most difficult countries for them to live in. Last year, India was at its highest ever on the List
