Nuns Crack Down on Non-Singers
Sing to the Lord with glad and joyful hearts…and if that fails force the kids to, huh?
NEW DELHI – Two nuns in India’s Mayurbhanj district were arrested on
Saturday for allegedly making two non-Christian girls sing hymns in
praise of Christ.The arrests were made after the
students of a Catholic residential school – Sarojini Murmu, 12, and
Anjana Behera, 10 – complained.The students reported that they were compelled to sing hymns and participate in prayers, which was against their wish.
The nuns were booked under Sections 323 (causing simple hurt) and 506
(criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4
(forcibly attempting conversion) of the Orissa Freedom of Religion Act.After the arrests, Fr. Isaac of the Catholic Diocese in Balasore rushed to Mayurbhanhj. He said the charges were “cooked up”.
The issue came to light after the students ran away from the school hostel. (Source)
