Catholic Church criticises BJP after Organiser article and assault on monks
This isn’t solely as a result of the Catholic Church is just not the biggest landowner, but in addition as a result of most of what it owns is used for public welfare, it mentioned.
The editorial said that, in keeping with the RSS article, if its claims had been true, greater than one-fifth (21 per cent) of India’s whole land space would belong to the Catholic Church.
“That is clearly exaggerated, as India’s whole land space is just 3,287,263 sq. kilometres. The article claims that the Church owns 700,000 sq. kilometres (172.9 million acres) of land — 183 occasions greater than the 940,000 acres held by the waqf boards,” the editorial mentioned, ridiculing the Organiser article and questioning the place these figures got here from, as nobody appears to know.
The Church-run every day additionally raised considerations over the current assault and a brewing land controversy simply because the BJP was seeking to ramp up its outreach to Kerala’s Christian group.
The transfer got here because the social gathering sought to focus on the Waqf (Modification) Invoice, handed with the said intention of supporting residents of Munambam village in Ernakulam, who’ve been protesting in opposition to a Waqf Board declare on their land.
