However, I have not blamed or hated anyone. All my sufferings, I offer to God, he said.<br /><br />"Though I am disappointed with the negative publicity, I have continued with the good work. I have requested MLA K Vasanth Bangera to stop the bad publicity with regard to Dharmasthala," he said.<br /><br />Exhibition<br /><br />The state-level exhibition held as a part of the Lakshadeepotsava was inaugurated by Holy Redeemer Church Parish Priest Rev Fr James D'Souza.<br /><br />"Exhibition helps creating awareness on culture, traditions, art and folk-life.
