A group of German Christians whose unofficial visit to India is supported by Missio, a Christian Catholic Bishops’ Agency for International Christian Mission Work, on Thursday met Gujarat Congress leaders Shaktisinh Gohil and former MP Madhusudan Mistry.

The four-member team will also visit Orissa where Christian missions were attacked few years back after Hindu saint Lakshmananand a life long activist against Christian conversions was brutally killed.

One of the members of visiting group Mr. Pascal Kober said that they got reports from people about how Christian conversion activity was becoming difficult under the new religious freedom law implied by Gujarat government where baptising ceremonies(in which a person converts to Christianity leaving his previous religion) were getting reported.
