It is immaterial whether one participated in the Prime Minister’s banquet to raise the question what State and Union governments did to quell atrocities against Christian minorities in Manipur because even the strongest of political leadership will one day be held to account by people, Varappuzha Archbishop Joseph Kalathiparambil said here on Saturday.
It is a matter of great regret that democratic traditions, constitutional values, and citizens’ rights are being violated at the State and Union levels. Social life is marred and made murkier by corruption and nepotism even in the face of serious financial distress, he said inaugurating the 42nd general council of the Kerala Region Latin Catholic Council (KRLCC) here.
The two-day council is being attended by representatives, including lay leadership, from 12 Latin Catholic dioceses in the State.
