Prominent Christian leaders on Saturday criticised the observations of some political leaders that they have contributed to the defeat of certain candidates in the recent elections to the Mangaluru City Corporation.
Addressing reporters at the press club here, Karavali Konkans president Leslie Rego said the community is an educated and disciplined society that has served several sectors including health and education.
The community always wanted good relations with other religions, he said.
On the charges against Christian candidates, he said "a few leaders are spreading false information in social media that some Christian leaders are responsible for defeat of Congress candidates in the MCC elections."
