The Justice Somasekhara Commission constituted to inquire into a series of attacks on churches in several districts of Karnataka during September 2008 submitted its report to the state government today. It said there is no basis to the apprehension of petitioners that politicians, BJP, mainstream Sangh Parivar and state government directly or indirectly are involved in the attacks. In its report the Commission said the main reasons behind the attacks were circulation of derogatory literature against a majority community and issues of conversion.The churches were attacked in the districts of Mangalore, Udupi, Chikamagalur, Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Bellary and Davangere in 2008. The commission found fault with the authority's act of locking the places of worship and preventing devotees from offering prayers as unprecedented in the history of administrative process and constitutional governance.
