Manipur violence | Catholic Church-BJP honeymoon ends in Kerala

 The raging violence in Manipur appears to have effectively ended the Catholic Church’s relationship with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kerala.

Interestingly, it is once again the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Thalassery Archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church Mar Joseph Pamplany, earlier accused of co-opting the national party on the pretext of ensuring better prices for rubber, who has taken the plunge by openly disapproving the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Manipur.
