    I am being the parishioner of Vijayadka Church ; In this moment would like to share a few things. The duo arrested studied in St. Lawrence School Vijayadka. It seems one of them is my batch mate. The total region is backward in both educationally and financially, More so the two persons arrested. I have seen them that Fr Peter Seravo the Parish Priest of that time had much concern and love towards the backward class people and used to help them in all kinds. These two ,to be frank even did not have clothes , a proper shelter ,leave alone the education. No Hindu organisation ever helped or identified their ordeal. It is Fr. Peter Seravo who came to their rescue to uplift them in the society. Those criticise today ; ask these arrested duo, how much they paid for their education, books , clothes and food. What help they got from CODP ? Ask them whether they were allowed to enter upper class hindu houses ?
    Today onus on the churches to uplift the christian community first . It is eye opener to the church heads to reorient their motto otherwise difficult days are not faraway to be encountered.

    Where the money goes from these schools, hospitals, old age homes, orphanages....????? Every Hindu temple atleast provide free meals and organizations like ISKON provide mid-day meals to so many kids. Please stop glorifying as if they are doing free of cost, we know how much donations they ask nowadays in Catholic schools. If the majority of this country stop sending their kids to convent schools run by priests think future.!!!!

    You please stop worrying of Christian run schools. They started with charity and collected donations when government stopped Grant's.If you can provide any information then give us one charity institution that run by so called majority population. It's easy now to talk because your education is already done.
    There are instances where the so called majority attack on Christian worship places but do you have one instance of attack on temples by any Christians?

    You are just a hater of Christian community. Do you know the cost to run a school with quality education? Schools are not making money like other businesses. School authorities struggle to run school if no donations given. Can you imagine how much money temples get (for example Tirupati) and where it goes? Any temple has done any development work from that money? Just be practical man.. Just look at Christian run schools and hospitals and see how many poor people are benefitting everyday. You need to talk to poor people of your own community then you will understand. I just pray God to give you some brain..

    Grotto is no use for public. If temple is there, the hundi money collected can be used for development work.

    It is really sad that a poor policeman has been made scapegoat for this incident. I wonder how a single policeman can overlook a vast area that too in bantwal and fronvittal Station. All these politicians doing all these incidents and Govt too involving itself by suspending unrelated person. Why not SP is suspended as he is the person in charge of whole Dist.
    When any lynching/murder happens ppl blame MODI and no police have been suspended so far in our State now also blame MODI why suspend poor police

    As elections are nearing, one party has nothing to show to voters and this way they create fear in the minds of people of a religion and thereby show their religion under threat!. They will also project themselves as the only party that can save this religion!.
