Vizhinjam – Along with the strike against Vizhinjam Port, the Latin Church has also raised the issue of Okhi rehabilitation. The gathering also reiterated that the CPM-BJP alliance was behind the clashes that took place the previous day. Father Theodesias D’Cruz said that Okhi has not provided any assistance to the victims. We were stuck. This is a direct play by the Prime Minister’s office to create unfortunate events here. That’s when Anavoor Nagappan and VV Rajesh joined shoulder to shoulder, we were tired that day. 258 people died in our archdiocese in the Oki disaster. Okhi victims have not received any kind of help from Kerala and Central governments. Housing, children’s education fees and life jackets were only offered to those who lost their homes. Father Theodisius D’Cruz said that no one has received it yet.
