Keep away from spreading hatred atleast on the eve of Good Friday – Christian Liberation Movement

The PCLM has noted that certain bishops are falsely propogating that
Christians in Orissa are not safe therefore the elections there should
be postponed. The PCLM differs from such assessment and feels that the
Christian churches are creating ill feeling against one particular
community and a political party. Such a move is dangerous as it divides
the Indian community. Mr. R L Francis, the president of PCLM stressed
that some people are falsely propogating such things for their own
benefit.

The PCLM urges that the Election Commission should call for an
explanation from the Archbishop of Cuttack- Bhubaneswar. Rt. Rev
Raphael Cheenath as to why he is propagating in foreign countries that
the elections in Kandhamal Orissa should be postponed. The PCLM will
also be drawing the attention of Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Congress President,
Shri Rajnath Singh, president BJP and other political parties to raise
this issue before the Election Commisiosn.
