Friday, Dec 18 1953 THE CATHOLIC TIMES—3 Indian Government Promises Freedom To Foreign Missions By E. J. Antony Deputy Home Minister N. (Correspondent. N.C.WC. News Service) NEW DELHI India—The Indian Home Ministry has given an assur ance that it woll not “interfere in the internal working’ of foreign Christian missions in this country. Datar told the House of the Peo ple the lower chamber of parlia ment. that the policy of the Indi an government is “not to inter fere in the internal working of for eign missionary organizations al ready in India, so long as they act in a peaceful and unobjectionable manner.” A Hindu member asked wheth er missionaries already here as well as those coming for the first time received instructions from the government that they should keep out of politics. Home Minuter Kailas Nath Kat ju intervened and replied: “They know it very well.” The home ministry's assur ance is regarded here as veering to the original Catholic position that the evangelical activities of foreign missionaries were in keeping with the provisions of the Indian Constitution which gives absolute freedom to all persons to propagate their re ligion in India. The assurance comes in the wake of unconfirm ed reports that a reconsideration of the home minister's attitude toward foreign missionaries was likely Mr. Katju stated last April in the Council of States, the upper chamber of parlia ment, that the Indian govern ment disapproved of the "prose lytizing efforts" of 'oreign Chris tian missionaries who should confine their activities to educa tional and social fields.
