Kerala issues ration card to nun
The Kerala government gave ration cards to a nun who said a former bishop did something very bad to her.
The nun and two other nuns were having a hard time with money, so the government helped them.
The nun also asked the government to help her with her court case.
She is sad that the church leaders haven't said anything about what happened.
The bishop was found not guilty in a lower court, but the nun is still fighting in a higher court.
Kerala government issued ration cards to the nun who accused former Bishop Franco Mulakkal of rape and two other nuns supporting her.
The move came after the nun spoke to the media about their financial hardships.
The nun expressed gratitude to the government and requested a special public prosecutor for her legal battle.
She met with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who said he would consider her request.
The nun expressed disappointment over the church's silence on the matter.
