Christians are not insecure in India: Cardinal Mar George Alenchery
In an interview given to an English daily, Mar George Alenchery said that Prime Minister Modi is a good leader and he does not go into confrontation with anyone.
The Syro Malabar Church Pala diocese bishop Mar Joseph Kallarangatt on Thursday said that Catholic girls in Kerala were now becoming the victims of ‘Love and narcotic Jihad’.
He said this while speaking at a Church celebration in Kottayam district’s Kuruvilangadu, which comes under his diocese.
“Wherever arms cannot be used, narcotics are being used and it’s here Catholic girls become the victims. And to help this there is a group in Kerala which is functioning. To understand this, one needs to just analyse, how come ladies from other religions reached the IS camps,” said the bishop.

“As part of Love jihad, ladies are getting converted and there is increased usage of drugs by Catholic youths. All this is being done to see no non-Muslims are there and to help in all this there is a group and all should be cautious,” added the bishop.
He went on to state that any attempt to deny that there exists ‘Love Jihad’ in Kerala is like closing eyes to reality and is being done by vested interests with a reason.
“There is a plan going on to forcefully bring in Muslim thoughts and all Catholics should be aware of this and be watchful,” said Kallarangatt.
The news of Keralites joining the IS surfaced after the Kerala government contacted various Central agencies — IB, NIA and RAW in 2016 about the veracity of reports about 19 missing people from the state, and according to some of the relatives they are believed to have joined the IS.
These 19 included 10 men, six women and three children and of these, most of them hail from Kasargode and a few from Palakkad districts and includes Christian and Hindu converts.
