Religious freedom of minorities under attack: Orthodox Church head
Kottayam: In his Independence Day message, Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church head Baselios Marthoma Mathews III said that the religious freedom of minorities, which the Constitution assures, is under attack, which is not in keeping with India's ethos. "The vision imparted by Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, was one of equality, freedom and fraternity. Tarnishing these ideals is not an honour to the ancient Indian culture. The culture of India embraces all diversities. The oppression of minorities by the majority is a blatant violation of the Constitution," added the Catholicos. The Catholicos also hoisted the tricolour at the church headquarters. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
