2. UDF & LDF backs Church Complex on Government Land; Hindu Aikya Vedi Launches Protest
Report: The Hindu Aikya Vedi has protested against the palatable moves made by the local Christian congregation to get a church complex constructed on government land, in Vandiperiyar. A few months ago, a structure bearing a cross was removed from the land which was procured for constructing a bridge. Sources indicated that the Tahsildar had granted permission for constructing a fresh church in another locale. This matter, on a legal basis, can be sanctioned only by the district collector. However, sources indicated that the Tahsildar had to bow before pressures from the Church.

Can you please write about a Kerala professor whose hand was cut by a group of Muslim students because they did not like the questions on his class paper that included critical review of some statements in the Koran? He lost his job, his income, his savings and his wife committed suicide. It is awful the new conflict in Kerala between Muslim fundamentalists and some Christian fundamentalists. What is really going on? No investigation.
