Ballia: Christian missionaries are a threat to the unity and integrity of India, says a parliamentarian belonging to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

“Christian missionaries control the Congress. Sonia Gandhi, the mother of Congress president Rahul Gandhi works on the directions of these missionaries. These missionaries are a threat for the unity of the country,” Bharat Singh, who represents Ballia constituency in the Lok Sabha, told reporters on April 21.

Singh also alleged that the democracy in the northeastern Indian states has “weakened” due to “conversion of people there into Christianity.”

“The North-East is under the influence of Christian missionaries. The conspiracies hatched by these missionaries are threat for the country,” the 69-year-old parliamentarian alleged.

The parliamentarian had also alleged recently that the Christian missionaries were behind the vandalization of the statues of the Dalit icon and key architect of the Indian Constitution, Bhim Rao Ambedkar.
