Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calicut on Sunday said the Church has adopted an “equidistance” theory with regard to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and the faithful would be urged to vote for candidates who can protect the country’s democracy, socialism, secularism, and integrity.
Varghese Chakkalakal, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calicut, said voters in Kerala are politically conscious and are capable of choosing good candidates.
He was replying to the media after senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Union Minister Prakash Javadekar and the party’s candidate in the Kozhikode constituency M.T. Ramesh visited him here on Easter.
