The kidnapped priest Fr Thomas Uzhunnalil was a symbol of kindness and human love and “it is high time government and society responded strongly to secure his release,” the Hindu leader said.
Kerala Catholic Bishops Council’s Family Commission organized the program. The Commission’s Secretary, Fr Paul Madassery, said they will intensify the struggle to liberate Fr Tom.
“We are not challenging, but pleading,” said Father Baiju Julian, Episcopal Vicar of Kollam diocese, who chaired the program.
Although this was the first public program, as a continuation of this a two-day fast and prayer program was started in Kalpetta.
Organizers said the demand to intensify action to secure freedom for the priest is fast tuning into social call with participation of people from different religions and cultural backgrounds.
