About 900 persons belonging to the Christian community, including fathers and nuns, staged a demonstration in the campus of St Michael Church in Coimbatore on Saturday, condemning a program telecast by a Tamil TV channel, allegedly portraying the bishop in a degrading manner.
Fr. John Joseph Stanis, Vicar General of Coimbatore diocese, alleged that a woman interviewed in the program ‘Solvathellam Unmai’ telecast on June 15 and 16, had spoken ill about fathers, nuns and the bishop. Stanis said that the diocese would file a defamation case against the channel and also fight it out legally if the channel did not apologise.
