Kerala: Orthodox church seeks government protection
Kottayam, Nov 12 (UNI) The Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church has urged the state government to initiate stringent measures to protect the life and property of the church and its members.
The church has been facing organised attacks after the Supreme Court issued its verdict in favour of the Orthodox faction in the church dispute case, Yuhanon Mar Diascoros, Orthodox church Synod Secretary and Metropolitan of Madras diocese told newsmen here on Tuesday.
He said attacks against churches, its institutions and followers are continuing unabated. Two church members who came to offer prayers at Vadavucode Church were seriously injured following an attack.
He said the indifferent stand of the government towards such incidents created a feeling among the church members that the government was offering its support to violence.
