The AIADMK’s Information Technology Wing State President Kovai Sathyan has alleged that priests were given training to campaign in favour of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
Speaking to the media, Sathyan stated that the Tamil Nadu Minorities Commission had been influenced to take positions favourable to the DMK. He alleged that the Commission’s Chairman Joe Arun was a member of the Loyola College governing body and a close associate of Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, resulting in institutional bias.
According to Sathyan, priests from various churches were invited to Chennai a few months ago and provided with a two-day training programme. He alleged that the training focused on using church networks to campaign for the DMK. He further stated that Loyola College and certain missionary organisations were working under pressure from Joe Arun to support the ruling party.
Sathyan also raised concerns over Loyola College’s ongoing centenary fundraising initiative, which aims to collect ₹100 crore to mark 100 years of the institution. He alleged that funds had been received from several countries without proper auditing and called for a detailed investigation into the matter.
The AIADMK leader said a thorough inquiry into these allegations was necessary.
