Natesan says it was the Christians who were converting Ezhavas
The raging controversy over ‘religious jihad’ took a new turn with a Christian priest cautioning the community against “Christian girls being systematically lured into love marriages by some Ezhava boys.”
The statement was made by Fr. Roy Kannanchira, who heads the Deepika Children’s League, at a training session for Catechism teachers.
A recent statement by Mar Joseph Kallarangatt, Bishop of the Pala diocese of the Syro Malabar Church, that extremists elements were using ‘love jihad’ and ‘narcotic jihad’ to lure away Christian girls had created a furore in the State.
