December 17, 2023 – Recent reports from The Organiser have highlighted concerns about the tactics employed by Christian missionaries in attempting to convert non-Christians, especially Hindus. There are allegations of using questionable methods, including physical attacks and emotional manipulation, particularly during the Christmas season. The festive atmosphere in Khammam before Christmas became unsettling as local pastors verbally denigrated Hindu deities, branding them as “satans” and advising Christians to keep a distance from their Hindu neighbors. Tensions escalated with a conflict between Christian pastors and D. Srikanth, a retired NSG commando, near the church.
