A Christian missionary indulging in proselytization activities was caught red handed by locals in Ranipet district, Tamil Nadu.
The man who had come in an auto carried with him a Bible and other pamphlets for distribution in a locality mostly comprising of Hindus.
In the video that has gone viral on social media, locals can be seen confronting a young man in his twenties for coming into the area and engaging in conversion activities. To this, the man can be heard saying that he is not from Church but wants spread the ‘good things’ that he had learnt from Bible.
When asked about who he was and what he was doing, the man claims that he had completed engineering and works as an apprentice at the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited.
“You are working in a central government firm and engaging in conversion activities?” the man recording the video can be heard asking the missionary.
“What are these books? Are they Kamba Ramayanam or Mahabharatham or Naalayira Divyaprabandham? What are these books man?” to which the missionary responds saying that he gives the pamphlets (supposedly containing pictures of Jesus and Bible verses) only to those who wanted it and that he does not ‘forcefully’ give it to anyone.
“Did anyone in this street ask you for it (posters and pamphlets) willingly?” locals lashed him to which the missionary says that he just wanted to spread what he had learnt.
“I learnt a few things when reading Bible. I wanted to shared those”, the man says claiming that he is not from any Church.
From the conversation it can be inferred that another lady had accompanied him and ran away after seeing him getting caught. When asked who that lady was, he said that it was his ‘aunty’.
As the conversation became heated, the missionary said that he had by mistake come to their street and promised to never come to the area for indulging in such activities.
