Metropolitan Bishop Youhanon Mar Meletius of the Kerala Orthodox Church criticized PM Modi for attending a Christmas event in New Delhi while incidents of vandalism marred celebrations in Kerala's Palakkad district. Three VHP activists were arrested for disrupting school festivities and damaging a Christmas crib. The BJP denied involvement, with state president K Surendran urging a thorough investigation and hinting at possible conspiracies. These incidents challenge the BJP's ongoing Christian outreach efforts, including their annual 'Sneha Yatra' campaign. The bishop’s remarks underscore growing tensions, as he condemned the destruction of Christmas symbols while the PM participated in celebrations elsewhere.
