‘Communists, Atheists’ in TTD Admn Blamed for Conversions

HYDERABAD: The Telangana Hindu Vahini has alleged illegal conversion of Hindus into Christianity and illegally preaching Christianity at TTD temples.

“With the support of foreign countries, some people are taking it as a profession to convert innocent tribals into Christianity,” alleged Uppala Raju, state general secretary, Telangana Hindu Vahini.

Raju also accused the appointment of officials at the temple, who are turning a blind eye to the conversions taking place on its premises. “Since the appointed people at the temple either have Communist ideology or are atheists, they are not stopping conversions,” Raju alleged, while demanding immediate action against those preaching Christianity at temple premises and those supporting it.

Referring to GO no 168 issued by the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh government in 2012, which prohibits any religious activity within 100 metres of a place of worship, Raju threatened to take matters into their own hands if no further action was taken.

“Christian preachings are taking place inside a temple complex and yet the police are indifferent. If no action is taken, then people may take law into their own hands,” he warned.
