Church cannot ignore Manipur violence: Pinarayi

In a damning attack on the Sangh Parivar over Manipur violence, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that violence similar to genocide-like brutality of Zionist forces against Palestine people is experienced by a particular community in Manipur solely on account of their religious belief.

The Zionists want the Palestine people to be wiped out from the face of the earth and Palestine to disappear from the map. While Sangh Parivar did not want Manipur to disappear from the map, the incidents in that State proved that they didn’t want a particular community to live on that soil, Mr. Vijayan said while addressing the Navakerala Sadas in Thrikkakara Assembly constituency on Monday.

“That forced the Church, which usually don’t adopt such a position, to register their protest. The Church could not turn a blind eye to the brutality and loss of lives of people simply because of their Christian faith. Those in the top echelons of power who didn’t move a finger to stop the brutality unleashed on the people of Manipur are now feigning ignorance and making friendly overtures. Those attempts at friendship while bottling up the enmity and after remaining mute spectators to brutality eyeing a few votes will stand exposed,” he said.
