Jacobite Bishop hails CPI (M) for displaying Christ's picture

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: While Kerala's Catholic establishment continued its attack on CPI (M) for displaying a picture of Jesus Christ in its exhibition here, a senior Metropolitan of Jacobite Syrian Church patted the party for showing reverence to Christ as 'the greatest revolutionary and liberator in human history.'


"There is nothing wrong in what CPI (M) has done. I am a Christian who believes that Christ has been the greatest revolutionary in history", said Metropolitan Verghese Mar Koorilos after visiting the exhibition organised here as part of the CPI (M)'s 20th state conference.


"If Christ's picture was not there, the list of liberators would not have been complete. The controversy over this has no relevance," he told reporters.
