Sharpening its attack on the government against the proposed attempts to resolve the Malankara Church dispute through legislation, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church on Wednesday termed the approach of the government towards the issue as unfortunate.
Accusing the Jacobite faction of unleashing a propaganda campaign, Fr. Johns Abraham Konat, official spokesperson of the church, said the Orthodox Church always looked to settle the issue amicably.
“The Orthodox Church has never ousted any believer from any of the parishes and we will not do it in future as well. Our only demand is that the parishes should be governed in accordance with court orders,” he said in an official statement.
