A relatively unknown radical Hindu organization, named ‘Sanmilita Sanatan Samaj’, has initiated a poster campaign in Assam. The campaign targets missionary schools across the state, demanding the removal of Christian symbols and churches from their premises.
The group also insists on the cessation of religious activities within these educational institutions. The posters outlining these demands were found affixed on the walls of missionary-run schools in several towns including Guwahati, Barpeta, Jorhat, and Sivasagar.
