Forgive us our sins
ON GOOD FRIDAY, which fell on April 7 this year, Kerala BJP vice president A.N. Radhakrishnan embarked on a pilgrimage to the Malayattoor Kurishumudy, a Christian pilgrimage centre in Ernakulam district, situated atop a hill. The pilgrimage involves a gruelling 3km trek with 14 halts marking the ‘way of the cross’. Radhakrishnan’s expedition, however, did not even reach the first halt.
Despite the setback, the BJP appears undaunted in its mission to woo the Christian community in Kerala. On Easter day, prominent BJP leaders made much-publicised visits to various bishop’s houses in Kerala, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Delhi. Three days before Easter, Anil K. Antony, son of former defence minister and veteran Congress leader A.K. Antony, joined the BJP. The BJP knows that Anil does not enjoy much clout, but his entry was used to convey the message that the BJP welcomes Christians, who form around 18 per cent of Kerala’s population.
