I came across a social media post and also saw a video of a man named Aadesh Soni calling 5,000 people to gather on March 1, 2025, to join \u201cGau Nyay Yatra,\u201d which means \u201ccow justice parade.\u201d He is asking to enter three villages in Chhattisgarh, India\u2014Bishrampur, Janakpur, and Ganeshpur, where the majority of residents are Christians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is urging the people to invade homes, violate their daughters and their daughters-in-law, and publicly commit obscene acts. He justifies this by accusing Christians of slaughtering cows, which are considered sacred in Hinduism, and claims to have the support of the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another video, a Hindu priest has called on 1,000 people to kill those accused of cow slaughter, stating that they should kill them first and then get hanged by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can such incidents happen? Yes, they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please, if you are reading this, take a moment to pray for the protection of these women and our Christian family in this state. What is being threatened is worse than getting arrested or going to jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
