against the Constitution of India, said the Bishop of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Ramanathapuram, Bishop. Mar Paul Alappatt.

the arrest of nuns who selflessly work in patient care and social service on false charges is a challenge to the rule of law and an insult to democratic India.  He  demanded the government 's intervention in the increasing atrocities against Christians priests and nuns, and justice to the nuns.
