New Delhi, Jun 27 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday sent out a strong message of inclusivity, saying his Government does not discriminate on the basis of any faith or caste. Prime Minister Modi also praised the role of Mar Thoma Church in the freedom struggle.

Modi was addressing the 90th birthday celebrations of Rev Dr Joseph Mar Thoma Metropolitan. He joined the Kerala based Church via video conference.

"Government does not discriminate among faith, gender, caste, creed or language," remarked the Prime Minister adding that the guiding light for the Centre is the Constitution of India.

"The Mar Thoma church played a role in India's freedom struggle. The church was at the forefront of working towards national integration," remarked Modi while adding that the church fought the Emergency too. "It is a matter of great pride that the Mar Thoma church is firmly rooted in Indian values," he said.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister Modi used the event to assert India's successful fight against Coronavirus. He said, "India's recovery rate against COVID-19 is rising. Any loss of life is unfortunate due to Covid-19 or any other reasons. However, India's death rate per million population is under 12. To place this in a context, the death rate in Italy is 574 per million population."

He said that the figures in America, Spain, Britain and France are much higher than that of India.

The Prime minister said while trade and businesses have started to open up, there is a need to practise precautions.

Addressing the influential Church event, PM also spoke about self reliant India, saying it will bring "prosperity for every Indian".

"The aim is to increase export earning and provide more employment to over 55 lakh people," he claimed.

    Your deafening silent was proof enough whenever minorities were torchered and you turned your face other way around. You neither condemned the incident nor took any action against the culprits. Has anything been fulfilled whatever you have said so far but whatever you have not said has been fulfilled. Now you are saying this because you may have some hidden agenda to carry out.
    'Pehle Kasai Phir Isai' is loud and clear till date and can not be set aside.

    Actually BJP is just a face to the people's. But RSS is behind them. These people's were the agents of British. They were paid from the Britishers. Now proving the people's that they are the actual Desh BHAKTS... only for the sake of a seat....

    The RSS is toying with the idea of floating an affiliate to lend structure and platform to its interactions with the Christian community in India. The plan to reach out to Christians by setting up an organisation on the lines of the Muslim Rashtriya Munch.
    The first contact between the RSS and the clergy for setting up of Rashtriya Isai Manch was made in 2016 but the attempts did not fructify.This attempt is nothing but political motivated to make in roads to establish party in Kerala.

    The Christian needs to worry about this new move considering the December 2019, the UK-US based monitoring group Open Doors that publishes an annual World Watch List of 50 countries, ranked India 10th in the world where it is most dangerous to live as a Christian.

    since the BJP came to power in India, the violence against Christians continues to be at consistently high as in past four years. It revealed that under the 12-BJP ruled states the minority Christian community has been facing the ‘wrath of communal elements’.

    The study carried out the Alliance Defending Freedom which recorded as many as 76 incidents by the end of April this year. It said the violence against Christians in Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh continued to remain consistently high which is a matter of concern.

    Eighteen out of 29 states of India are witnessing violence against Christians, which means Christians living in the region of over 60% territory of India are at risk to practice their faith freely as guaranteed under the constitution of India. Out of 18 states witnessing violence against Christians, 12 are ruled by BJP and its allies. Rest of the 6 states is ruled by so-called secular forces of Non-BJP or Non-BJP allies.

    And in last four years over 750 incidents of violence against Christians were reported on UCF Helpline. In 2017, 242 incidents were recorded and the year before (2016) was 216 incidents. In 2015 it was 183 and 148 incidents.
