Rome, August 28: Italy's Foreign Ministry will summon India's ambassador to demand ‘incisive action’ to prevent further attacks against Christians that have left 11 people dead in India so far, the government said on Thursday.

A statement issued after a cabinet meeting also said Italy would ask France, the current EU President, to take up the issue of attacks against Christians at a future meeting of foreign ministers.

The mobs ransacked a church and clashed with Christian villagers in Orissa on Thursday as authorities struggled to control spiralling religious violence in the region.

The Italian statement said the Indian ambassador would be told of the Rome's ‘strong expectations’ for ‘an incisive, preventive and repressive action by Indian authorities regarding such unacceptable acts of violence’.
