Expressing concern over rising intolerance in society, His Grace Soosa Pakiam, president, Kerala Catholic Bishops’Council (KCBC) and Archbishop of Trivandrum has asked all Christian schools to include the Constitution of the country in their curriculum. The KCBC president also said that the new generation of the country needs to love the Constitution along with the traditions of the country.
As reported by financialexpress.com, His Excellency Soosa Pakiam remarked that “Everyone should actively work for ensuring the secular values promised by the Constitution. It is highly dangerous that hatred and fear are invoked among various groups as a shortcut to power. Learned community and political leaders should come together against such practices. The provisions in the Constitution that define and decides the basic character of the nation should be protected in co-relation. Threats to the Constitution should be considered as a threat to the existence of the country.” Further, His Grace added, “All Christian schools should include constitutional literacy in their moral science training as well.”
His Grace Archbishop Soosa Pakiam believes that this step (inclusion of Constitution in the curriculum) will help in the protection of the Constitution.
