Stating that "one party is doing petty politics", West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today extended support to the proposed procession in Delhi tomorrow to protest against attacks on churches.
"Procession on Feb 5 is to protest against many attacks on Churches in Delhi in the last 2 months. One party is doing petty politics," Banerjee tweeted.
"We extend our full solidarity and support to the procession in Delhi tomorrow at 9.30 am from GPO to Home Min (minister's)residence," she tweeted.
Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien said the procession in the national capital is being organised by different Christian denominations.
In the fifth such incident since November, a church was vandalised by some unidentified persons on February 2 at Vasant Kunj area in Delhi sparking off outrage among the Christian community which alleged that it was part of a 'hate campaign'.
