In a inflammatory speech, a Christian pastor named Kuntam Edward Williams fearmongered the gathering of a Christian New Year event saying that a genocide will happen in 2023 under the ruling BJP regime.
The pastor while addressing the gathering at Bethel Church in Mushirabad, Hyderabad, said “According to the American top secret agency report available, in 2023, there will be religious attacks and genocide in India and lakhs of Christians will be killed”.
Comparing Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah with Nebuchadnezzar called it their ‘Duty assigned by God’ to hate Christians.
Nebuchadnezzar is a Biblical king who is considered as a ruthless and cruel king who destroyed Jerusalem and forced the Jewish people into exile.
The pastor made extreme comments saying that the BJP government at the centre will create ‘genocide’ in 2023 and lakhs of Christians will be killed by stab wounds and gunshots in that horrific massacre.
Citing the example of German dictator Hitler’s massacre of Jews, Pastor Kuntam Edward Williams said that the same thing is going to happen in India in 2023. Pointing at the crow, the pastor fearmongered that almost half of them will not be seen in 2024, and they will die by stabbing, shooting and beating without seeing the new year 2024.
He also said that India ranks 8th in terms of Persecution in the world, beyond Saudi Arabia and Syria. “While the whole world is looking at India, the ruling BJP is planning to separate Hyderabad from Telangana and make Hyderabad a union territory to steal the revenue generated from that city.”, he said.
He also instigated the Christians gathered saying “this is a beautiful opportunity for the Christians of India to become a hero or zero.”
