NEW DELHI, India (AP) — With his minority
church under fire by some Hindus for its mis
sionary work, Pope John Paul II said yesterday
that freedom to practice or change one’s religion
must be considered a basic human right.
The pope celebrated his only Mass in India on
the same day as Diwali, a major Hindu holiday
that is marked by lights and firecrackers.
He then attended a meeting with representa
tives of other religions, describing it as a further
sign that Roman Catholics seek dialogue with
other faiths.
“No state, no group has the right to control
either directly or indirectly a person’s religious
convictions ... or the respectful appeal of a par
ticular religion to people’s free conscience,”
John Paul said.
The pope rested his head in his hands
through most of the 90-minute interfaith meet
ing, as the religious leaders uttered greetings in
different languages.
A Jain priest spoke with a mask over his mouth
to avoid accidently swallowing insects, in keep
ing with the Jains’ belief against endangering an
imal life. A Parsi priest chanted a two-minute
prayer for the pope’s health.
The Sikh representative was a half-hour late
because security men were wary of his four-foot
silver sword, which he described as “a symbol of
my authority.”
A bare-chested Hindu priest sat next to the
pope, clutching the pope’s hand in the air for pho
tographers. But afterwards, the priest,
Shankaracharya Madhavananda Saraswati, ex
pressed reservations on the pope’s view of con
versions, saying, “sometimes people change out
side, but what is inside remains with the human
being forever.”
“My hope and dream
that the next century
will be a time for... tol
erance of all religions."
POPE JOHN PAUL II
The visit, John Paul’s second to India in 13
years, was preceded by weeks of small hut noisy
protests from radical Hindus who accuse the
church of illicitly inducing Hindus, mostly from
poor and illiterate tribal areas, to convert to
Christianity.
But the pope told people yesterd;
looks forward to a period of religiousci
in Asia. Paying tribute to the ancienici

Belize ship sinks at mouth of
Bosporous, oil leak reported
Communists mark revolution
ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) —
A Belize-registered freighter
sank at the mouth of the
Bosporus Strait after colliding
with another ship yesterday.
The Anatolia news agency
said passing ships rescued the
18-person crew of the Semele,
which went down shortly after
colliding with another
freighter, the Bulgarian-flagged
Sipka reported.
The strait remained open af
ter the accident, which private
NTV television said left a large
oil slick.
The 6,000-ton Semele was
enroute to Algeria with a load
of steel from Nikolaev in
Ukraine.
The 16,000-ton Sipka was
heading to Varna, Bulgaria.
It was damaged but not in
danger of sinking, Anatolia
said.
The accident came as an Is
tanbul-based environmental
group. Nature Warriors, was
staging a demonstration
against tanker traffic in the
Bosporus Strait.
Around 440 million barrels
of oil transit the Bosporus each
year and nearly 3,500 ships
pass through it each month.
Some 200 accidents over the
last decade in the strait, which
bisects this ancient metropolis,
have caused oil spills and fires
that sometimes shut down the
strait.
The demonstration was
timed to the upcoming summit
of the Organization for Securi
ty and Cooperation in Europe
at Istanbul next week at which
Turkey expects to sign agree
ments for a Caspian oil pipeline
bypassing the Bosporus.
A rival Russian project
would ship oil thorough the
strait.

MOSCOW (AP) — Thousands of
communists paraded through
Moscow yesterday to mark the 82nd
anniversary of the Russian Revolu
tion and vent their anger at Presi
dent Boris Yeltsin and the social and
economic upheaval in Russia.
About 10,000 people marched
across town from the former Octo
ber Square to Lubyanka Square,
site of the former headquarters of
the KGB secret police, to wave red
flags and banners and recall the
glory years of Soviet power.
Many protesters were elderly
and poor, and their common refrain
was that Yeltsin was to blame for
the loss of Soviet-era stability and
the country’s economic collapse.
They waved banners that pro
claimed “Yeltsin is the enemy of the
people,” and “Yeltsin must be put
on trial.”
Other banners called for a return
