Over the past week, reports have emerged from Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and parts of Delhi. The latest incident was reported from Nalbari town in Assam, where a group of Bajrang Dal and Vishva Hindu Parishad activists allegedly stormed a diocesan school on Christmas Eve and damaged decorations. Christmas ornaments being sold in local shops were also vandalised.

Amid growing unease, News X spoke exclusively to Fr Robinson Rodrigues, PRO of the CBCI, who spoke candidly about the situation.
