New Delhi, Mar 23 (IBNS): Following two church attacks in Mumbai and Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur area, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said he will do anything to protect the minorities.

"I will go to any extent to protect minorities. I will do everything to end the sense of insecurity prevailing among minorities," Singh said.

Meanwhile, the police have arrested six people for allegedly vandalising a church in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur area, reports said on Monday.

The attackers allegedly belonged to  Hindu outfits Dharma Sena.

The incident reportedly occurred on Friday when a Bible convention was being held in the church.

A case was also registered by the police after stones were hurled at St George's Catholic Church near Mumbai in New Panvel area, media reports said.

The attack took place on Saturday.

"Last night around 1:30 am, three people came on a bike. They were wearing masks, they threw stones at the statue of St George which was kept in a glass casing. The police have registered a case," Abraham Mathai, Former Minorities Commission Chairman, was quoted as saying by NDTV.
