Allegations of SC's delay in hearing matter on attacks on Christians baseless: Archdiocese of B'luru
Peter Machado, the Archdiocese of Bangalore on Saturday issued a press statement against allegations of Supreme Court delaying hearing on matter of attacks on Christians.
In his statement, he added the allegations had no merits and that the Christian community has complete faith in the judiciary.
"We would never imagine or doubt that the Supreme Court would delay or hesitate to take up important issues that affect human rights or religious freedom." The statement added.
It further added the articles in newspapers on the matter were extremely distressing.
"It is understood that a Judge who is affected with Covid cannot by any stretch of imagination be blamed for delaying the hearing.
Parallelly, we wish to reiterate that there are still attacks on Christians in the country, especially in the States where the Anti-Conversion Acts have been passed. Many of such incidents are not even reported in the public. We are convinced that the Hon'ble Supreme Court will bring forth justice in this matter." it further added
