Catholic bishops have condemned a recent attack by a radical Hindu group on a Catholic school in southern India.
On April 16 a mob of activists assaulted a priest and vandalized the Mother Teresa English Medium School in Telangana state after school administrators reprimanded students for wearing Hindu religious clothing instead of the school uniform.
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) released a statement on April 16 following the violent attack.
“The assault, carried out by a mob of antisocial elements, is a reprehensible act of violence against an educational institution and its staff,” the CBCI said.
