Amidst rising concerns over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the Archbishop’s office in Bengaluru has called upon the public to observe a day of prayers and fasting on March 22 as a mark of protest against the recently implemented law.
The Archbishop of Bengaluru highlighted the perceived threats to the citizenship rights of millions of Indians, citing systematic efforts to deprive individuals of their rightful citizenship status. The statement further emphasized that such endeavours are part of a larger campaign orchestrated by divisive factions aimed at undermining the country’s constitution.
Expressing distress over the perceived erosion of democratic institutions and federal structures, the letter underscored concerns about the co-option of media and the alleged misuse of investigative agencies to target dissenting voices, according to a report published on a website.
