New Delhi, Dec. 26 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday attended the Christmas morning service at The Cathedral Church of the Redemption in the national Capital, even as the Opposition raised concerns over alleged attacks on Christmas minorities on the occasion. Modi, in his Christmas greetings to the people, said: "The service reflected the timeless message of love, peace and compassion. May the spirit of Christmas inspire harmony and goodwill in our society." Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda, too, participated in Christmas celebrations. "Participated in the Christmas celebrations at Christian Higher Secondary School in New Delhi today, organised by the Mao Naga Christian Fellowship Delhi (MNCFD). It was heartening to be part of such a warm and joyful gathering. As we celebrate Christmas, we remember the teachings of Jesus Christ," he said in a post on X. Officials pointed out that over the last few years, PM Modi has been regularly attending programmes that have connected with the Christian community. "During Easter 2023, he attended an Easter programme at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, Delhi. During Christmas 2023, he hosted a programme at his residence 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in Delhi. In 2024, he attended a dinner at the residence of minister George Kurian and also a programme hosted by the CBCI," an official said. Opposition parties, however, targeted the BJP-led Union government over alleged atrocities against Christians. Referring to the incident of a BJP leader's assault of a visually impaired woman in Jabalpur over suspicion that she was promoting conversion ahead of Christmas, Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien said: "PM Modi and HM Shah, your silence on incidents like these in the Christmas season is deafening. Shame on you and your ilk." The Rajya Sabha member also questioned PM's Christmas message and quipped, "Love? Peace? Compassion? Harmony? Goodwill? Christmas?" Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin also criticised the attacks on minorities. "When a few right-wing violent groups, acting in the name of the majority, indulge in attacks and riots, even as the PM participates in Christmas celebrations, it sends a disturbing message," the DMK chief said....
