The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday in the Supreme Court said a petition claiming attacks on the Christian community was based on "falsehood" and "selective self-serving documents".
Even family feuds and private land disputes are being shown as communal targeting, the Ministry countered.
The petition was filed by Rev. Dr. Peter Machado of the National Solidarity Forum, Rev. Vijayesh Lal of the Evangelical Fellowship of India, and others.
