CPM slams PM visit, draws Church ire

The Morning Standard

January 02, 2024

ON the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Kerala, the BJP sensed a political opportunity as the Catholic Church launched a scathing attack against Cultural Affairs Minister Saji Cherian for his remarks criticising the bishops who attended the PM’s Christmas luncheon.

CPM slams PM visit, draws Church ire

Though BJP leaders rejected the rumours that the PM may meet Christian leaders during his visit to Thrissur on Wednesday, Modi is expected to address the community’s concerns in his speech.

The PM will address a women’s rally in Thrissur and participate in a road show along the Swaraj Round.

Inaugurating the local committee office of the CPM at Punnapra in Alappuzha on Sunday, Cherian had said that some bishops are having goosebumps when the PM hosts a party for them. He said the bishops forgot about Manipur riots while having wine and cake offered by the BJP.
