Tie up with like-minded forums: Cardinal

Cardinal George Alancherry, major archbishop of Syro Malabar Church, has called upon the All Kerala Catholic Congress (AKCC), the political arm of the Church, to join hands with non Christian organisations who share the same perspective in their fight for rights.

Addressing the lay members of the AKCC unit of Pala diocese of the Church, Cardinal Alencherry said under the coalition politics being practiced in the State, none of the communities were happy, as their legitimate demands were not met.

Against this backdrop, the AKCC should join hands with organisations, like the Nair Service Society (NSS), the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam, Kerala Pulayar Maha Sabha (KPMS), Akhila Kerala Dheevara Sabha, Muslim Educational Society, etc. in their fight against the wrong policies of the government, he said.

While AKCC has no political party agenda, it will respond to the wrong policies of political parties and governments in power, the Cardinal said.
