Orthodox Church sharpens its attack on government

The Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church is upset with the State government for taking sides in the dispute between two factions of the Malankara Church. They are unhappy with the government’s decision to escalate the issue to the Supreme Court after a High Court Division Bench rejected their appeal. The Church believes the government’s actions are unjust and against the principles of justice. They warn of severe repercussions if the government continues to appeal against the High Court order. The Church is urging the government to review its decision and comply with the Supreme Court order. They emphasize the importance of avoiding societal chaos and anarchy. The Church is disappointed with the government’s opposition to the ruling that all parishes should be governed under the 1934 Church constitution.
