The Laity Council of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) will organiser a “Save the People” campaign, an all-India movement to rouse the general conscience against the glaring threats of narcotism and terrorism getting worse across the nation and making the common man increasingly worried, said Chevalier Adv. V. C. Sebastian, Secretary, CBCI Laity Council in a press release.
“People across the various sectors including students and the youth will participate in this national level awareness programme. The danger signals of organized terrorism and narcotism which enervate the governmental set up and the legal system, spreading its tentacles in different domains, should not be underrated,” the press release read.
Through “Save the People” campaign the Laity Council is envisaging a massive awareness programme ranging from the national to the family level, from 1 October to 31 December 2021.
Popularisation programmes through the social media against narcotism and terrorism, tableaus, seminars, discussions, family visits, formation of local level solidarity groups etc will be organized.
Recently, there was a huge controversy in Kerala after Pala Bishop spoke about the ‘narcotic Jihad’ and the tactics adopted by Islamists of destroying non-Muslims.
