I wish to bring to your notice the fact that on Monday, 22nd December, 2008, the GuindyEngineeringCollege premises was used for Christian preaching and evangelising purposes. In the guise of Chrsitmas celebrations, the AnnaEngineeringCollege, Guindy had officially invited Dr. Paul Dinakaran the known Christian evangelist for their so-called Christmas celebrations.

This programme was ironically arranged in the Vivekananda Auditorium in the GuindyCollege premises from 3 PM onwards. At the programme were present the College Vice-Chancellor Mannar Jawahar, a Christian by faith. It is clear that the college Vice Chancellor abused his official position in a high-standing institution of higher learning to carry out Christian preaching and evangelising activities. Students present at this programme were told explicitly –

“Theeys saktigalai vazhipaduvorgal, antha theeya sakthigalai vittuvittu, yesuvai vazhipaduvadaharkku viruppapaduvorgal, kannai moodikkondu, kai uyarthhungal. Naan ungalai yesuvidam azhaithu selgiren.”

(Thjose of you who are worshipping evil forces, if you wish to give up worshipping these evil forces and want to worship Jesus Christ, please close your eyes and raise your hands. I will take you to Christ).

This is nothing but sheer Christian prosylytising by the Vice-Chancellor usuing his official position and constitutes the grossest and the most obscene violation of the law. It is my responsibility to bring this violation of the law which may constitute either a crime or a law and order offence, to the notice of the Commissioner of Police. I will also write a letter to the Chief Minister of Tamil nadu bringing his attention to this abuse of government-aided educational institutions by minority religions.
