It was regrettable that Prime Minister Modi has not taken any steps to stop the attacks on Manipur Christians, they said while demanding the PM to immediately respond to the crisis. It was unfortunate that Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh had also not taken proper action against the rioters, they lamented.

The protesting Christian associations, pastors and bishops demanded immediate resignation of the Chief Minister. They stated that Christians across the country were with the people of Manipur and would fight until justice was done and submitted a memorandum to the district Collector VP Gautham.

Bishop Udumala Bala, Bishop of Khammam and Warangal Bishop John Kantha Rao, Khammam District Mahasena Pastors Fellowship president Manda Sanjeeva Rao, Khammam District Aikyavedika president Timothy and others were present.
