"The commission has very badly let down the Christian community and the entire community is disappointed and feel the report is unfair," vicar general Archdiocese S Jagayanathan said in a statement in Bangalore.
Terming as "unfair" the report of BK Somasekhara judicial commission that probed the attacks on churches in parts of Karnataka in 2008, the Bangalore Archdiocese today said it had not done 'justice' to the minority community by not naming the culprits.
"The commission has very badly let down the Christian community and the entire community is disappointed and feel the report is unfair," vicar general Archdiocese S Jagayanathan said in a statement in Bangalore.
"The report had said some incidents of attacks are true. If they were true, why the commission had failed to name those who responsible for these attacks," he asked.
"And, also to say that 'it was self inflicted, some make believe, some blown out of proportion and some totally politicised' is indeed very painful and has also hurt the sentiments of the Christian community," he said.
In spite of presenting video-clippings and supporting documents to the commission on the attacks against churches and innocent people, it was disheartening to note that the commission had failed to bring them to book, he charged.
The highest bodies of the respective Christian churches in Karnataka and the Karnataka United Christian Forum for Human Rights will study the final report and would initiate the future course of action, he said.
State unit BJP spokesperson CT Ravi welcomed the commission report which he said had brought out the "truth".
The opposition parties which had blamed BJP for the attacks should desist from such criticisms hereafter, he said.
