    These guys belong to breakaway groups under Christian umbrella... There are many such sects and centers whose business only is conversion... Mani Christian groups are not bothered about others joining Christianity... These guys are a brainwashed lot often having psychological issues about religious beliefs... Once punished and out they will do the same thing once again....

    In Varanasi on the banks of river Ganga you will see the thousands of western converts to Hinduism coming to bathe in the river. The police should now go from Barabanki to Varanasi which is just 5 hours away, and apply the same law there to those converts to Hinduism too.
