Thrissur: The Archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church in Thrissur, Kerala, has taken a stand against the Union government, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and actor-politician Suresh Gopi in its November edition of the mouthpiece, Catholicasabha.
The front-page article, titled 'Will not Forget Manipur,' criticizes the silence of Prime Minister Modi on the Manipur violence, suggesting that it is a tacit approval of the riots.
The article questions Suresh Gopi's dismissive stance on the issue, asking why he didn't raise concerns when Manipur was in turmoil and whether he would turn Kerala into another Manipur if elected.
Suresh Gopi, who is speculated to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha election from Thrissur, faces mockery from the Catholicasabha for implying that outsiders need not worry about Manipur and Uttar Pradesh issues. The article challenges Gopi to question Prime Minister Modi about his silence on Manipur and questions the actor's eligibility for the election.
The mouthpiece also directs criticism at Prime Minister Modi, accusing him of ignoring Manipur even during incidents of church burnings. It highlights the vigilant awareness of the people of Kerala regarding the alleged vote bank politics at play in the government's indifference towards Manipur.
