Opposition Congress today asked Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to take moral responsibility and tender apology to the Christian community if the culprits of the attack on a Catholic church in Navi Mumbai are not nabbed within 48 hours as assured by him.

"If he (CM) keeps his words and the culprits are indeed nabbed within 48 hours, nothing better than that. But, if he fails to keep his promise, what will the CM's stand be? Fadnavis will then need to apologise and take moral responsibility of the hate crimes against the Christian community," said former Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam.
