There is a strong demand that the Government of Kerala ends the separation of minorities and grant funds for the Christian community to visit the Holy Land. But the fact remains that in Kerala, the Minority Welfare Department is working for a religious group. The majority of scholarships and other benefits provided by the Minority Department is shared in the ratio of 80:20. Out of this, 80% is for the Muslims and the remaining 20% is for the minority groups including Christians. Protest against this is widespread.
