Pooja Bhatt agrees with New Delhi Archbishop on political situation
Mumbai
May 23,2018
Actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt on Wednesday said she agrees with New Delhi
Archbishop Anil Joseph Couto that there is "turbulent political atmosphere" in
the country and added that its "democratic and moral fabric" is in tatters.
The Archbishop in his May 8 letter had asked priests and churches in the
national capital to hold a year-long prayer campaign for the country to protect
its democratic principles and secular fabric ahead of the 2019 general elections
"when we will have new government".
"I see nothing wrong with Archbishop
Couto's letter and everything wrong with the knee-jerk response to it.
"The democratic and moral fabric of our nation is in tatters. Time we addressed
that plainly. Attempts to gag and snuff out discourse that meanders from the
prescribed must end," Pooja tweeted.
The Centre on Tuesday said India is
safe for minorities while the Bharatiya Janata Party virtually attacked the
Delhi Archdiocese, saying "no one should speak to mobilise people on the basis
of religion".
