JUSTICE BEING DENIED:
ORTHODOX CHURCH
The
Malankara Metropolitan was of the opinion that Home Minister Ramesh
Chennithala’s assurance that equal justice would be ensured for all sections
was not being fulfilled. He alleged that the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church
received covert support from certain political leaders, who had influenced
government actions. “Certain MLAs from Ernakulam district have always worked in
the interests of the Jacobite Church.”Responding to a question, the Catholicos
said the Orthodox Church had been at the receiving end of injustices,
notwithstanding the fact that the Chief Minister was a member of the Church and
that there had been a change at the Home Department’s helm.The Church organised
a demonstration in Kottayam in protest against the action of the Jacobite
Church. Thousands, including women and children, participated in a rally, which
demanded immediate action by the government in the issue.
