Ernakulam, 11th April. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan takes a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Easter visit to a church in Delhi, saying it was a good thing if it was done as an “atonement for past deeds” of the Sangh Parivar.

PM Narendra Modi paid an Easter visit to the Sacred Heart Church in Delhi’s Connaught Place on Sunday evening.

In response to the CPIM programme at Angamaly, Vijayan stated, “The Prime Minister of the country visited a famous Christian church in Delhi. It’s a good thing if it can atone for everything that’s happened so far. Will it be? Will the tiger take a different stance after knowing that taste? Will it travel any other way?”

“Bharatiya Janata Party leaders were seen visiting all the churches in Kerala. So there is no harm here. There is no harm in taking a different position,” he added.

Vijayan also said, “Christian hunting is happening outside Kerala. The fact that you (BJP) could not take that position here is not because the Sangh Parivar here has any special minority affection. If you take a communal stand and try to create communal conflict here, the government will take a firm stand. It is a no-compromise position.”
