Derek O'Brien slams vandalization of Christian school

Trinamool Congress MP Derek O' Brien on Friday decried the vandalization of a prominent Christian school in south Delhi's Vasant Vihar area, saying it did not matter if the Delhi school was run by Christians, Hindus, Muslims or atheists as children had been violated.

"Holy Child School, run by Catholic nuns in Delhi... Attacked. Vandalized...Please. Give peace a chance," O'Brien tweeted.

"Spoke to authorities in Delhi. Security CCTV system first destroyed before school was vandalised. Suggests attack well planned," he further said in his tweeter feed.

On the Prime Minister summoning the Delhi Police Commissioner on Friday and directing him to come down hard against those involved in such attacks, O'Brien told PTI, "Let us see some progress in the SIT probe which was set up after a church was burnt in Delhi in December last year".

"It is in a comatose stage," he said referring to the Special Investigation Team's probe set up by Delhi's Lt Governor Najeeb Jung into the fire at St Sebastian's Church at Dilshad Garden.

"The Christian community is concerned over the repeated attack on churches," O'Brien, who is the chief whip of the Trinamool Congress parliamentary party in the Rajya Sabha, said.
