This is done without my permission and consent. Therefore, I urge the candidates contesting for the general election not to use my pictures without my consent,\u201d Cardinal Ranjith said in a special announcement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cI must clearly state that the Catholic Church does not support any particular political party or a candidate. No one can take away the rights enjoyed by the voters to vote for the party and candidate of their choice.
