This story sounds like an urban legend and I doubt it is true. I have never
heard or read of 90
priests in a marriage party. Maximum 5 or 6, but 90! There are rare instances
when 80 or 90
priests get together, but for a marriage party! And in Orissa! And in a forest!
And in one truck!
Come on, tell a believe story, especially if propaganda....
