Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 29 (PTI) Violence against Christians in Manipur and other parts of India was raised during the special prayers on the occasion of 'Good Friday' at the St Joseph's Metropolitan Cathedral here by Latin Catholic metropolitan Archbishop Thomas J Netto.
The messages come at a time when the BJP is trying to win over Christian voters in Kerala with various outreach programmes ahead of upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Netto said that Christians in various parts of the country, especially in Manipur and north India, were being subjected to "cruelty and violence by dark forces" and alleged that there was no effective intervention against it by the authorities
