Residents of Belagavi protest against anganwadi worker for illegally converting Hindus to Christians.
Residents of a Lambani Tanda in Ramdurg in Belagavi district have complained that an anganwadi worker is part of a group that is illegally converting Hindus as Christians.
The residents staged a protest in the village by holding posters of Guru Seva Lal and shouting slogans against the worker.
In a memorandum to Child Development Project officer Shankar Kambar, the residents said that anganwadi worker in Obalapura village Sumitra Lamani is converting members of Lambani community by offering them goods and money.
They said that she is also not carrying out her duties properly. She is not distributing food and other material to children and new mothers, the memorandum said.
The worker also goes on unauthorised leave several days of the week, they said. They added that around 25 families from a nearby tanda have been converted over two decades ago, but they all came to know about it only when they celebrated Christmas in their houses.
