The National People's Party (NPP) in Meghalaya has condemned the alleged harassment and detention of a Catholic nun, two staff members from Catholic Charities Jamshedpur, and 19 minors at Tatanagar railway station in Jharkhand.
Temporary detention by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) was based on unsubstantiated allegations of trafficking and forced religious conversion. Father Birendra Tete from Catholic Charities clarified that the outing was for training in adolescent health and skill development.
The NPP criticized the prolonged detention as intimidation against religious minorities and urged authorities to safeguard constitutional religious freedoms and prevent harassment over lawful charitable activities.
