New Delhi: Opposition parties, led by the Congress, on Tuesday raised the issue of crimes against minorities in the Lok Sabha, especially the attack on a church in Haryana and the alleged gang rape of a nun in West Bengal.

"Persons holding constitutional posts are making remarks which are deliberately wounding people. In Hissar, a religious place has been attacked and the Chief Minister has said the religious place lacked valid papers," Congress member Gaurav Gogoi said. "This does not seem to be an isolated incident. Such kind of statements are being made again and again," he added.
