  • In a Facebook post, Kerala's Bishop Yuhanon Meletius critiques PM Modi's Christmas event, labeling it as 'drama' while highlighting recent vandalism of Christmas cribs by VHP activists in Kerala.

The article discusses a statement made by Thalassery Archbishop Mar Joseph Pamplany, who criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for what he described as a "Christmas drama" involving a visit to a church in Delhi. The Archbishop questioned the sincerity of Modi's actions, suggesting that such gestures are merely for show and do not reflect genuine concern for Christian issues. He highlighted the lack of action on critical matters like the violence against Christians in Manipur and the absence of Christian representation in significant political roles. The Archbishop also referenced a Malayalam phrase, "Kallan kuthirayum parayum," which translates to "even a thief will speak of his horse," implying that even those with questionable intentions can make grand gestures. This critique comes in the context of ongoing political and social tensions between the BJP-led government and minority communities in India.
