Mangaluru: Harry D'Souza, state convenor of Karnataka Christian Social Welfare Association hit out at State government and said that
Christians do not get sufficient funds and other facilities as they are a minority among minorities. said
"The minority department has more than eight communities to cater to.Among them, the budget amount goes only to one or two. The department
does not give any importance to the Christians in Karnataka. As per records, around 12 lac Tamil-speaking, 10 lac Malayalam, 10 lac
Telugu, and 10 lac Kannada and Konkani-speaking Christians live in the state. But the minority department does not bother about their welfare
and development" he informed.
Joylus D'Souza, president of BJP Minority Morcha, youth wing said, "It is necessary to get our share from the government. It is our right to
ask for our share. The minority department is not just for one or two communities. It should treat everyone equally and give importance to
all. The convention is held to voice our problems to the government and show our strength. It will be the biggest convention in the
history of Mangalurean Christians."
