In line with a fire-fighting exercise launched by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to address the resentment over a controversial remark made by Minister Saji Cheriyan against Church heads, the Kerala Congress (M), a key ally of the Left Democratic Front, has broken its silence over the issue.
In a statement, KC(M) chairman Jose K. Mani held that the LDF government treated the churches as well their stance with respect and requested not to regard any differing remarks as the government’s opinion. He also acknowledged the strong stance adopted by the Christian churches on the Manipur issue.
“Everyone knows the strong stance taken by the Christian churches on the Manipur issue. What needs to be done now is to keep on fighting unitedly,” he said.
