Just in: American Evangelist Benny Hinn cancels proposed visit to Bangalore following protests from Saffron groups.

The protests come in the wake of miracle healing sessions by Hinn during his last visit to the IT city nine years back, in 2005.

Right-wing groups claim that the self-proclaimed miracle healer was using this as a tool to convert people to Christianity, and that his prayer conference next week too would be a forum for conversion.
