Christians not getting minority benefit in Kerala, alleges BJP

BJP Kerala president K Surendran on Monday alleged that Left parties LDF and UDF have been keeping mum on the issue of love jihad in the state despite concerns raised by the Hindu and Christian communities. Surendran also alleged that the minorities were being treated unfairly in the state. While Christians were being denied minority benefits, Muslims were being given undue benefits, he said.

Even in minority rights, there is discrimination in Kerala. Why the ruling and opposition parties in Kerala have not made their stand clear despite the fact that the Christian churches have complained to the prime minister that the Christians are not getting the population benefits when the Muslim community is getting undeserved rights,” the BJP leader claimed. The Kerala BJP has promised to bring an Uttar Pradesh-like law against love jihad in Kerala, if elected to power in the next Assembly elections, likely to be held in April-May this year.
