Mumbai, Mar 23(IBNS) Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse on Monday kicked up a controversy saying there could be a foreign hand behind the attack on St. George Catholic Church.

The Opposition raised an uproar in the state Assembly and the Nationalist Congress Party walked out of the Assembly over the issue.

On Sunday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis  promised action against the attackers, who, he said have been identified.

Three men on a bike attacked the church in Navi Mumbai and cracked the glass case of St. George's statue. They were caught on CCTV while hurling stones into the compound of the Church.
