Meanwhile, the CPI, the second-largest coalition partner in Kerala’s ruling LDF, also strongly criticised the Prime Minister’s participation in the Christmas celebrations organised by the CBCI in New Delhi, terming it as Modi’s “drama of political hypocrisy.””While the PM was preaching about Christ and his love to cardinals and bishops in New Delhi, his ‘sangh bandhus’ were disrupting Christmas celebrations in Kerala’s Nallepilly and committing blasphemy,” Binoy Viswam, the state secretary of the CPI, alleged in a statement.The Left leader further stated that if there was any sincerity in the Prime Minister’s words at the CBCI headquarters, he should visit Manipur this Christmas with a message of love and peace. Viswam also questioned whether the PM was willing to go to Manipur.Prime Minister Modi, during the celebrations on Monday, expressed his distress over attempts to spread violence and cause disruption in society.Speaking at the event hosted by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, Modi emphasised the importance of strengthening the spirit of love, harmony, and brotherhood, in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ.It was the first time that a Prime Minister had attended such a programme at the headquarters of the Catholic Church in India.
