Marxists in search of Bishop’s Blessings

Kottayam: It is not just Chief Minister Oommen Chandy who broke official protocols and ventured into various church congregations to seek blessings. The Communists whose have the self imposed rule of routing religion out of their very being, have made it very obvious from time immemorial that the dictum stands applicable only to Hinduism- which is exactly why they made a beeline to garner blessings of pastors and fortify themselves against any form of defeat!

Inspite of Communist bigwigs claiming that “they do not clamour around religious heads”, they made clandestine moves to reach the residences of senior Christian clergymen. According to sources, Marxist leader and LDF convenor Vaikom Viswan and district secretary of CPM Kottayam VN Vasavan are the ones who stepped into Catholicate palace Devalokam Aramana , Vijayapuram Metropolitas palace , CSI head quarters and Jacobites Head quarters, accompanied by PC George. And what more, they are said to have spent over 40 minutes at each of the venues.

Recently Chief Minister Oommen Chandy had raked controversy by visiting congregations. He was followed by KM Mani as well. It is at this juncture that the LDF leaders sought congregation meetings, seeking help from the parish.
