The Christmas night attack on the United Presbyterian Church in central Punjab in Pakistan, it said, "was well planned and designed to terrorise the minorities''. The attack in West Bengal in which bombs were thrown, the priest and worshipers were robbed, but no arrests made, was "equally sinister''. "It takes a certain ambience in which criminals bid bold to enter a place of worship''. the statement said. Seeking to draw a distinction between India and Pakistan, it said anti-Christian violence was a "way of life in Pakistan and the Pakistan Government did little to contain the open and more subtle social violence against minorities.'' What was necessary was "prompt and expeditious action by the authorities to show the world how different secular India is from Pakistan where religious partisanship is part of the political idiom.''
