On Oct. 1, a local leader of the right-wing BJP party of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with a group of supporters, reportedly had barged into a Pentecostal prayer service falsely accusing the pastor of religious conversion.

“The fundamentalists are going around as vigilantes to prevent even prayer meetings and worship of the faithful,” said Bishop Gerald Mathias of Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh.
