Christian leaders take a dig at Shriram Yedapaditthaya against abuse of christianity

Mangaluru: Taking a dig at Shriram Yedapadittaya for his derogatory comments against christianity eminent speaker Vincent Alva Pamboor said that he is not fit to be called with name of God Rama rather he has to be called as Ravana. He was addressing the agitated crowd gathered in front of the DC office today.

"If in case his parents are alive I request them to change his name as Ravana. With the name of the Lord Rama he can not pass such comments against Christ and christianity. Some believe Rama is the replica of Jesus in Hinduism. I urge the Christian youth to forgive him. I also urge the police not to take any stringent action against him. The Christ will bless his mother and family" he said. Speaking about the hate comments of conversion against Mother Theresa by RSS chief Mohan Bhagavat he said that Mohan Bhagavat is not fit enough to pass any comment against Mother Theresa. "She is responsible for the revolution of service in India. It was not necessary for her to come here and serve the deceased for the sake of conversion. I agree that mother has converted a Hindu to be a true Hindu and a Muslim to be true Muslim. And if mother had converted people after luring them then there is no meaning to Christianity in the world and people got converted to Christianity only admiring the service of the Mother" While reflecting upon an incident when mother was accused by few for conducting conversion in the Hindu temple Mr. Alva said "Mother had faced the allegations of conversion when she was alive as well. When the SP of that area in Kolkata visited her �following the allegations from the locals who demanded Mother to be away from the place said ’I will surely take away her from the place if your mother or your sister is ready to serve the people in the way she does’. Such was the dedication mother had towards the decreased and the people subfreezing from various ailments." "In the recently held Hindu Samajothsava the good message of Bhagavadgeetha had to be spread among the people belonging to the great Hindu religion. Rather a young girl spoke beyond her age by not knowing the reality. It is the conspiracy of some people to divide the society and make the universal religion of Hinduism as a narrow religion.

I have to sincerely thank Mr. Bhagavat for giving me and opportunity speak about Mother Theresa." Taking a dig at Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat he said "I respect you a leader of Hindu religion. You own a group of Institutions. You tell about conversion in our district. Please show us the poof’s regarding the allegations and there is no point in making baseless allegations.” The secretary of CITU, DK Sunil Kumar Bajal speaking on the occasion, alleged that it is the conspiracy of the ruling right wing leaders to target the minority and termed it as their hidden agenda. “Mohan Bhagavat does have any eligibility to say anything about Mother Theresa. They consider minorities as second grade citizens. If there would not have been Christian institutions in the district the scheduled castes and tribes would not have got the education. If the Christians had to do the conversion they would have become priests, teachers and nuns and would not have served the society. “he said. The President of the Konkani Sahitya Academy, Roy Castelino

who spoke on the occasion said that it is a conspiracy to target minorities. “They speak about cleaning India but let them clean the menaces like corruption, communalism and terrorism. I Thank the commissioners Murugan and all the police for arresting Sriram Yadapaditthaya. I also urge the catholic youth and leaders for having registered complaints in 25 police stations against his derogatory comments.” Ex-president of ICYM Nelson Monis also spoke on the occasion. ICYM ex-president Sheldon Crasta, Vicar general of Mangaluru diocese Most. Rev. Fr. Dennis Moras Prabhu, ICYM central council director Fr. Ronald Dsouza, Krishnappa Konchady, Rachana President, Mandd Sobhan convenor Stany ALvares were among the present at the occasion. At the end of the protest a candle light vigil was also observed and the gathered prayed for the world peace. About one thousand Catholics participated in the protest.
