Goa Bishop seeks safety for minorities
Panaji, Feb 5
Goa's Archbishop Fr. Filipe Neri Ferrao Thursday asked the central government to ensure security for minorities.
He issued a statement specifically mentioning recent "acts of violence and intimidation against Christians".
"Acts
of violence and intimidation against Christians have been taking place
in this country, almost systematically, in the last few months," the
statement said.
"Such acts ... have not only hurt the feelings
of the minority communities, particularly Christians, (but) created a
sense of insecurity in them," Ferrao said.
Ferrao heads the Roman
Catholic church in Goa which wields significant clout, considering that
26 percent of the state's population is Catholic.
