Bajrang Dal people claim that they have only attacked New Life Fellow
Ship Centers in Karnataka giving the reason that they are involved
into forcible conversions. But they have attacked number of Roman
Catholic and protestant churches and their prayer centers. Irony is
that there is not even a single complaint lodged for forcible
conversion all over India. Also there are several reports of forcible
reconversion to Hinduism in Orissa and other parts of the nation.

In fact at the beginning Bajrang Dal people openly claimed
responsibility for the attacks. Later on they changed their statement
and said all attacked places belongs to New Life Fellowship only. But
now slowly they change their statement once again saying that they are
not behind these attacks. May be they are now frightened that the
group will be named as terrorist and banned.

The list of places that were attacked by them on 14th September 2008
and the following day. Also four Roman Catholic churches in the next
Sunday (21st September). Three churches in Bangalore and one in Kodagu
District. I got total list of 33 places of attacks. There may be some
more left out apart from these.
