KOZHIKODE: BJP state president K Surendran has asked the state government to immediately convene an all-party meeting to discuss the issues raised by Pala bishop Mar Joseph Kallarangatt. Addressing media persons at Thunchan Parambu in Tirur on Monday, he said that it was the real issues raised by Pala bishop that should be discussed at the meeting.
“What Pala bishop said is the basic issue and not what people said about it. The government should be ready to discuss it... It should be the chief minister and not KPCC president K Sudhakaran who should convene a meeting of religious and community leaders,” he said.
Surendran asked what the stand of the CPM and Congress was on the serious issues of ‘love jihad’ and ‘narcotic jihad’. “The most important thing is how we are addressing an issue. But what is going on in the state now is how to get away from an issue by concealing it,” he added.
The BJP leader said that both LDF and UDF were trying to exploit the issue. “Both the fronts know very well that if the real issue is discussed then they will burn their fingers,” he said.
