A church under Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese on Wednesday, 10 April, showed a documentary on Manipur violence to students attending its vacation catechism classes. Father James Panavelil, the vicar of the church, said what happened in Manipur was not an exaggeration or a lie or something that did not happen. This follows the Idukki diocese screening the controversial The Kerala Story.
