Kozhikode: Goa governor and former Kerala BJP chief PS Sreedharan Pillai said there is a change of thought among Christian Churches in the state. His comments come at a time when Thalassery Bishop’s pro-BJP remarks are in limelight. However, as Pillai is presently holding a constitutional position, he did not divulge much.
According to Pillai, he has been invited by various Christian Church factions in the state for various events and the interactions give a sense that there is a change of thought. “I am convinced. The churches have a stand that some entities should not be isolated over attempts to isolate them (entities),” he noted.
