The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP, World Hindu Council) on June 6 accused churches in India of conspiring with the Vatican as contract killers to destabilize elected governments and prop up the puppet ones. The reaction came after Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferrao of Goa and Daman wrote a letter to churches two three days earlier saying that the Indian Constitution is in danger and most people are living in insecurity.

On May 8, Archbishop Anil Couto of Delhi had urged him people to pray for the nation that was facing turbulent atmosphere. Reacting sharply to these letters, VHP Joint General Secretary Surendra Jain said “It is now amply clear that the churches in India are in collusion with the Vatican and are trying to create an atmosphere of distrust against the present government. The Vatican not only denigrates the Hindus all over the world but also India as a nation and the Indian churches are acting as puppets in their hands.”
