Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the arrest of two Keralite nuns on “trumped-up” charges of human trafficking and forced conversion has let slip the Sangh Parivar’s true anti-minority character.
In a statement here, Mr. Vijayan said the local Bajrang Dal activists were responsible for the wrongful detention and subsequent incarceration of the sisters.
He said the supporters of the perpetrators of the atrocities against Christians had no compunction in calling on Bishops’ palaces in Kerala with cakes and smiles.
Mr. Vijayan said he had written to Prime Minister Modi seeking justice for the nuns immediately after their arrests.
Mr. Vijayan said the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, had defended the arrests and endorsed the charges of human trafficking and coerced conversion.
Mr. Vijayan urged civil society to close ranks against the Sangh Parivar, which has obstinately sought to undermine secularism and negate the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
