Bangalore-based Christian advocacy group Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) said Karnataka, ruled by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), recorded the second most number of attacks against Christians in 2008. It is "second to Orissa where many have lost their lives and homes."

"Karnataka recorded at least 112 anti-Christian attacks across 29 districts in 2008 and at least 10 more such incidents have been reported this year," Dr. Sajan George, president of GCIC told Compass Direct News earlier.

GCIC has strongly condemned the murder, and has called the CBI to investigate the case as well as other attacks against Christians.

“We are shocked and dismayed in the brutal murder of Fr. James Mukalel," GCIC said in a statement Thursday. "This is the 33rd incident of attacks against Christians in Karnataka in the year 2009."
