Kerala Catholic Church Questions BJP’s Sincerity Amidst Rising Attacks on Christians
The official newspaper of the Catholic Church in Kerala, Deepika, has published an editorial expressing skepticism over the BJP’s recent efforts to engage with the Christian community. The editorial points to a concerning disparity between the party’s outreach and the increasing number of reported attacks against Christians throughout India.
Deepika Editorial Highlights Perceived “Double Standard”
The Deepika editorial emphasizes what it perceives as a contradiction in the BJP’s approach. While the party actively seeks to build bridges with Christians in Kerala, the editorial notes a parallel rise in incidents targeting Christian communities in other parts of the country. This apparent disconnect has raised questions about the sincerity of the BJP’s outreach.
Concerns Raised Over Safety and Security of Christian Community
The editorial raises concerns about the safety and security of the Christian community in India. It suggests that the BJP’s actions speak louder than words and calls for concrete steps to address the growing number of attacks and ensure the protection of religious minorities.
