Bhopal:
An official survey ordered by the police headquarters here seeks to find out details about the Christian population in Madhya Pradesh, including their total strength, the political patronage they enjoy, the source of funding of Christian schools and the number of churches in the state.
The order, issued by police headquarters on March 22, asks officers-in-charge of police stations to file reports within “10 days”. The survey, at the district and tehsil level, must include:
Number of Christians, with a break-up of Catholics and Protestants, where they stay, and their economic status.
Details of schools run by Christian bodies — numbers of staff and students, source of income, whether they get foreign funding.
Number of existing and under-construction churches, with details of the fathers/ bishops heading them.
A list of Christians involved in criminal activities, with details about whether they enjoy any political patronage, and their clout.
