Social activist Jayachandran Stanley while speaking to BPNS said, “ Whether it is a suicide or a murder, the issue is inter-religion love. There should be more and more awareness in the society encouraging such marriages as youths are becoming more and more dejected in such matters. Religion and caste must not come in the way of marriages and with proper awareness, this can be slowly overcome.”
