No political party can come to power in Tamil Nadu without the support of minorities�, asserted Bishop Peter Fernando, chief of Madurai Diocese, while talking to presspersons in Madurai recently after a meeting of a political convention of catholic Christians of Tamil Nadu and Podicherry. The Bishop demanded fulfilment of the election promise by parties, namely, reservation for Christians and Muslims. The meeting also passed a resolution demanding that cemetries be handed over to the Christian community. The meeting repeated the demand for resrvation to �Dalit Christians� on par with Hindu Harijans. The meeting called upon Christians in all political parties to work for religious interests as parties divide Christians.
