The Cardinal Oswald Gracias, archbishop and president, Catholic Bishops Conference of India, said, “By demolishing crosses, BMC has not insulted us but they have insulted God. As per the SC order, if the crosses hindering to the traffic or illegal has to be removed.

We, Christians, who are responsible citizens will take them case-by-case, study them and then act on it. Besides, I am meeting chief minister on Monday to convey the hurt sentiments of the community.”
