The RSS concept of a ‘Swadeshi Church’ received a shot in the arm, when an organisation representing dalit Christians, called for a debate on the issue within the community and accused the church of misleading the Christians about the idea. “The church and their NG0s are misleading the Christian community by creating various kinds of misunderstanding and misconceptions on the idea of swadeshi churches advocated by RSS chief K S Sudarshan,” R L Francis, president of Poor Christian liberation Movement (PCLM) said.
Alleging that church leaders discriminated against backward Christians and most of the church organisations have been converted into “commercial enterprises”, he said that the PCLM would initiate an open debate on the issue of ‘swadeshi churches’ and has started work in UP, MP and Punjab in this regard.
Accusing the church of
creating bitterness in the society by floating organisations such as ‘Rashtriya
Suraksha Vahini’ in Orissa, Mr. Francis said that PCLM would initiate
an awareness campaign to demand equal rights for dalits in church bodies
and strengthen harmony.
