Among them was Jai Bhagwan Goel, the New Delhi state leader of Shiv Sena. They would be released after the pope’s visit. The pope is visiting New Delhi Friday through Monday to formally close the Asian Synod of (MfKGfWCYMOlCAt SfRWCES Bishops and release a document on the status and future of the church. He will also meet with political and religious leaders and to cel­ ebrate Mass.
