When Kerala is heading to his back in a few months, it seems that the state political phase is reset around the accused problem of two nuns that are currently disappearing to Chhattisgarh, which offers a unified democratic front (UDF) and the left democratic front (LDF) and strategic opening and Bharatiya.
Reducing the political resonance of this matter, both UDF and LDF have already sent delegations to prison, a step aimed at strengthening their connection with the Christian community. Their intervention was associated with sharp attacks on the unit of BJP Kerala, which tried to shake the perception of alleged hostility of his mother clothing towards minorities.
Francis George MP, the leader of the Keral Congress and part of the UDF delegation in Chhattisgarh, claimed that the hidden face of the BJP in Kerala stands in this episode. “They were trying to show the Christian community here. However, this incident revealed that their political agenda did not include any real concerns for our community. Outside Kerala, their associated subjects like Bajrang Dal and Hindu Parisad, they benefit hatred against Christians,” he said.
“Tocala nuns” arrests’
Jose K. Mani, a deputy and chairman of the opponent’s faction, also achieved Chhattisgarh and is expected to meet nuns on Wednesday. The party led by the Congress of Keral (Mani) also arrested arrests as a targeted attack on the authorization work at the local level led by the Catholic Church in tribal and marginalized communities.
Protests led by both coalitions collect momentum, especially in central Travancore, where the Christian community controls considerable political influence.
Meanwhile, the episode seems to have caused a riots in the Catholic Church itself with a part of the clergy expressing concerns about the silence of some bishops, some of whom previously publicly praised the National BJP leadership and cultivated ties with leaders at local level.
“Whenever the incidents of violence against Christians were reported from Northern India and Karnataka, it was Archbishop Peter Machado of Bengalur, who took the initiative to access the Supreme Court looking for justice,” said a higher Catholic priest. “Neither the bishops of the Syro-Malabar nor the Catholic Bishops of Keral (KCBC) were willing to support or join.”
“Although Stan’s father was described as Maoists, imprisoned and died in custody, the management of the Church in Kerala stuck to the line that Christians were safe under the BJP government – and continued in Christmas and Easter politeness of their leaders,” he added.
