MUMBAI – A May 25 attack on Christians in north-central Pakistan by an enraged Muslim mob, accusing a Christian man of having defaced the Quran, represents a “dark day” for the country’s Christian community, Pakistan’s top Catholic official has said.
“I strongly condemn this incident. It’s a dark day for the Church in Pakistan,” Bishop Samson Shukardin of Hyderabad, president of the Pakistan Catholic Bishops Conference, told Cruxin the aftermath of the attack.
“Without knowing or investigating , the mob attacked a 74-year-old Christian man,” Shukardin said. “Christians are very disappointed and afraid.”
