War of words breaks out between CPI(M), Church leadership in Kerala over ‘Sangh Parivar affinity'
A bitter war of words has broken out between the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] and certain entities in the Church leadership in Kerala. The current battle centres around the CPI(M)'s repeated accusation that certain bishops broadcast a predilection towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while 'expediently turning a blind eye to' spiralling attacks against Christians and the clergy by Hindu right-wing organisations in Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled States in north India. CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan singled out Archbishop Mar Joseph Pamplany of Thalassery for criticism at a public meeting in Thaliparambu on Monday (August 11, 2025). Mr. Govindan said he was intentionally naming Bishop Pamplany to spotlight the prelate's 'vacillating positions' vis-à-vis the Sangh Parivar. He stated that Bishop Pamplany mooted a rethink of the Church's relationship with the Central government after 'the Sangh Parivar-controlled BJP government' in Chhattisgarh arrested and incarcerated two Kerala nuns after Bajrang Dal activists accused them of human trafficking for conversion to Christianity. 'When the court belatedly released the nuns on bail, the Bishop praised Modi and Shah, conveniently papering over the BJP's culpability in the nuns' ordeal', he stated. Mr. Govindan alleged that Church representatives went with cakes to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office in Kannur. 'Such brazen opportunism does not augur well for secularism, democracy or minority rights,' he said. Earlier, Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) State secretary V.K. Sanoj said 'the fate of Martin Niemöller' awaited Bishop Pamplany. He said the German protestant pastor and self-declared anti-semite backed Adolf Hitler, only to be jailed by the Nazi leader after the priest served the fascist regime's purpose. Bishop Pamplany's expression of gratitude to the Centre had come in for sharp reactions on social media platforms, with the netizens pooh-poohing the gesture using memes and satirical remarks. Last week, CPI(M) leader and former Minister A.K. Balan had accused Bishop Pamplany of pursuing a transactional mode of politics by promising the BJP a parliamentary toehold in Kerala if the Centre raised the floor price of rubber to ₹300 per kg in the run-up to the 2024 General Elections. Thalassery Archdiocese pushes back Meanwhile, the Thalassery Archdiocese has pushed back firmly. In a statement, the bishopric termed Mr. Govindan's words 'second-rate.' It said Bishop Pamplany did not require 'AKG Centre's writ' to expound the Church's position. The Church had ignored the DYFI's attempt to disparage the prelate. However, attacks against the Bishop had escalated, it pointed out. The Archdiocese said the Bishop had thanked parties across the political spectrum, including the Central government, for their respective interventions to 'ensure justice' for the nuns. 'Opportunism has become a byword for Mr. Govindan's political vacillations. His condemnable statements have exposed the party secretary's fascist nature. Mr. Govindan's distortion of the Bishop's words is aimed at putting the Chief Minister and CPI(M) on the defensive', the bishopric stated.

Forcible conversions happening in Kerala, not in Chhattisgarh: Syro-Malabar Church
The Syro-Malabar Church has said that forcible religious conversions were happening in Kerala, not in Chhattisgarh. In a statement issued by the Syro Malabar Church media commission, the Church noted that the main allegation against nuns serving in Chhattisgarh was that they were engaging in forcible religious conversion. 'However, the significant issue is the forceful religious conversion occurring in Kothamangalam in Ernakulam. A Christian girl ended her life after forceful conversion threats,' the statement said. The family of the 23-year-old girl from Kothamangalam raised allegations of forcible religious conversion after she died by suicide. A note recovered from the house alleged that she was pressured by her boyfriend and his father to embrace their faith, it said. It was unfortunate that girls did not realise that 'religious fundamentalists were exploiting love as a means to deceive women,' the statement said. 'It is expected that the accused will be punished. Political parties should oppose such elements,' it added.

BJP switches strategy in Kerala, to play health card for LSG elections
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The BJP appears to be recalibrating its political strategy in Kerala, shifting its focus to the health sector as a key campaign topic ahead of the local body elections. Sources said the move comes as the party sidesteps the controversy over the recent attack on nuns and priests in Odisha, a BJP-ruled state, which has threatened to strain its Christian outreach and slow momentum in certain constituencies. Many party leaders termed the Thrissur Lok Sabha election charges baseless and stressed that more counter-strategies would be rolled out. On Saturday, BJP state general secretary S Suresh said in a meeting the party would strongly oppose what it sees as the state government's targeting of Dr Haris Chirakkal. 'Dr Haris has raised the voice of the common people of this state. Things have reached a stage where honest officials struggle to work under this regime. The BJP is moving forward with strong protests against this dangerous approach,' Suresh said. Party sources said the focus on the health sector is a calculated move to spotlight issues with direct public relevance, such as access to quality healthcare and safeguarding honest officials, while steering clear of overexposure to sensitive matters like the Odisha incident. In Chhattisgarh, the BJP played a key role in securing the release of two jailed nuns, but several leaders conceded that internal disagreements have risen over whether such interventions would bring political gains. With Church leaders now voicing concerns over religious freedom and citing the Odisha attack, the party has chosen to approach the matter cautiously, a source said. For instance, at another press meet on Sunday, BJP general secretary Anoop Antony reiterated Suresh's stand on the Dr Haris issue but refrained from criticising the Church authorities.
