All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary K.C. Venugopal has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Sangh Parivar are “promoting hate and divisive politics for electoral gains”, accusing the Centre of orchestrating a “political drama” over the arrest and delayed release of two Keralite nuns in Chhattisgarh.
Speaking to the media after visiting the family of Sister Vandana Francis at Udayagiri in Kannur, Kerala, on Friday (August 1, 2025), Mr. Venugopal questioned the BJP’s “logic in celebrating the nuns’ release after eight days of custody.”

“If BJP leaders in Kerala truly cared, they would have acted on the day of the arrest itself, just as they react when cakes are distributed in Christian homes,” he said.
