The archbishop of Bengaluru, Peter Machado, on Thursday expressed his disappointment over the Karnataka government’s launching of an inquiry into the latest Bible row in the southern state.
Machado said no student of any other religion had converted while studying in Christian schools, adding the inquiry into the usage of Bible in schools was painful for him.
“The education department has ordered an inquiry about whether the Bible is used or religion is taught in our (Christian) schools. I feel very hurt. We can bravely say that no student of other religion has become Christian in our school,” the archbishop was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
