Jashpur: Members of the Christian community on Thursday formed a 130-kilometre long human chain in Chhattisgarh’s Jashpur district seeking an FIR against BJP MLA Raymuni Bhagat for her allegedly objectionable remarks on Jesus Christ and conversions.
The demonstrators linked hands from Pathalgaon to Lodum along Katni-Gumla highway peacefully against Jashpur MLA Bhagat, said Christian Adivasi Mahasabha state president Anil Kumar Kispotta.
On September 1, while speaking in the local dialect at a programme in Dhekni village under Asta police stations, Bhagat allegedly made objectionable remarks about Jesus Christ and conversions. A video went viral after which several persons approached police seeking action against her.
The BJP member, however, refrained from apologizing, challenging protesters to present “valid certificates” proving their religious affiliation. While she termed the human chain a “flop show,” protestors remain determined, threatening further action unless their concerns are addressed by authorities.
