Price to kill a pastor is $250, in Orissa


Money, food and alcohol are being offered by Hindu extremist groups to people willing to murder Christians and destroy their homes.

This violence is not new to Orissa, India where India’s Communist Party estimates that more than 500 Christians have been killed by Hindu mobs since August.  This figure is twelve times greater than official government claims of only 40 homicides. 

The stakes are higher now and pastors have a bounty on their heads.  Chairman of Good News India, Faiz Rahman said Hindu militants are targeting Christian leaders according to the Christian Post.  “The going price to kill a pastor is $250,” he said.

Rahman told the UK based Release International, “All of the pastors are high value targets.”  “We’ve got to get them out of the refugee camps.”  more
