In response to an article published in the RSS mouthpiece Kesari criticising Christians, the Catholic Church’s mouthpiece in Kerala has hit back, stating that the piece “lays bare the true colours” of the Sangh Parivar.
An editorial in its official daily Deepika published on Monday (September 15, 2025) described the article as “part of a calculated conspiracy to undermine the Constitution by targeting Christians.” The fact that it was written by a Sangh Parivar leader in an RSS publication, the paper observed, “only makes the agenda clearer.”

The editorial goes on to note that “the very communal movement which distanced itself from the freedom struggle and instead aided the British policy of division is continuing the same tactics even today.”
“Having stayed away from the Indian Independence movement and oiled the divisive machinery of the British, they still persist with the same agenda even after the nationalists drove away imperialism. The provocation for this can be the responses that the laws prohibiting religious conversion, which have been sharpened by BJP-ruled States recently, are indeed unconstitutional and should be challenged in court,” it said.
