On December 18, a group of UDF MPs led by Congress MP K C Venugopal protested against attacks on Christian minorities in India outside the Parliament. They protested in response to the recent demand by a Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS)-affiliated employee union of the Postal Department to sing an RSS song at a Christmas celebration at the headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram.
K C Venugopal stated India is a secular country, and it is the RSS-BJP agenda to kill secularism. The Christian movement United Christian Forum (UCF) reported a steep rise in the attacks from 127 to 834 cases in a decade since 2014.
