A complaint has been filed against the office bearers of All India True Christian Council (AITCC) and Bible Open University of India (BOUI) for their seditious and secessionist speeches and also for indulging in sexual exploitation of minors.
The complaint filed by Legal Rights Protection Forum (LRPF) mentions that the Director of BOUI P.D. Sundara Rao who is also the National President of AITCC, has been giving seditious and anti-national speeches insulting the country, National Flag, Constitution of India and its architect, Dr BR Ambedkar.
In 2013, calling the national flag of India as a ‘piece of cloth’, he questioned why people are saluting a piece of cloth with a wheel and spokes. Further, he called AR Rahman’s rendition of the Vande Mataram as ‘braying of a donkey’ and challenged the police to arrest him for his comments. He also reportedly said that ‘people go mad at singing the National Anthem. He had ordered his subordinates to make copies of this seditious speech (insulting the National flag) and circulate it all over India. He said that the National Flag should hang its head in shame in front of the flags flying outside BOUI. He also questioned the hoisting of the National Flag on the Indian Independence day at state capitals and at New Delhi saying ‘why these mad men sitting in Delhi are doing all this?’, the LRPF in its complaint alleged.
P.D. Sundara Rao had also abused Dr B.R. Ambedkar the same year calling him a ‘plagiarist’ who lifted the British and American Constitutions and pasted them into the Indian Constitution. A case was registered at Razole police station.
Again in 2013, Mr. PD Sundara Rao had abused the Judges of the Supreme Court of India stating that they are delivering judgments against the law of the land. He claimed no one has the guts to arrest him. Twirling his moustache, he claimed he is a real ‘He-Man’ and also challenged the authorities to arrest him.
In 2017, At a rally held in Vijayawada, Mr. E Santosh Kumar, Deputy Director of Bible Open University of India demanded splitting up the country into two and handing over one part to Christians as a separate country. Mr. E Santosh Kumar once again repeated the above demand of splitting the country at a rally held in Ramachandrapuram, East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh.
“Hundreds of students pass out of Bible Open University of India with seditious and hateful ideas firmly implanted in their tender brains by the team of BOUI lead by Sri P D Sundara Rao and his associates. This is a dangerous issue as these students who take up the role of Christian pastors/preachers in various states further inculcate these seditious thoughts to thousands of people who come to attend their Christian religious services, thus creating a large body of citizens who hate the Nation, its prestigious symbols like the National Flag and Constitution. “, the LRPF complaint said.
It is to be noted that P.D. Sundara Rao is widely considered as ‘Spiritual Father’ in Andhra Pradesh and a section of Christians who adore him and call him a ‘Lion’.
In 2016, PD Sundara Rao’s son Lazarus Prasanna Babu had faced allegations of sexual harassment of a minor girl children who had come to study at his institution. The parents of the students alleged that both father and son call minor girls at odd hours in the night and molest them sexually. It has been alleged that in order to cover up his sexual molestation activities, PD Sundara Rao makes everyone call him ‘Daddy’. They also alleged that this nefarious activity has been going on for the last five years (since 2011). The minor girls were shown pornographic films and were asked to perform various sexual acts for both father and son. As per the news report, a case was registered at Gentyada Police Station, Vizianagaram District, Andhra Pradesh.
P.D. Sundara Rao also regularly abuses scientists and accuses them of spreading false knowledge. He claimed that he challenged Stephen Hawking to debate with him. At the beginning of the Covid crisis in March 2020, he gave out an international challenge that he can stop Covid with the power of his prayers to Jesus.
“Despite all these serious anti-national and other criminal activities, both father and son i.e., Mr. PD Sundara Rao and Mr. Lazarus Prasanna Babu continue to roam around with impunity. Despite tall promises by police officials, there is no visible action taken so far in this regard. Left alone, the duo of father and son pose a serious threat to the entire nation as well as minor children who come to study in their institutions. Their outbursts against scientists, offer of a miracle cure for Covid through prayers to Jesus are an affront to modern society. The unity and territorial integrity of this country is at stake. The activities of Bible Open University and All India True Christian Council are spread over the states of Orissa and Karnataka. Therefore we request you to order an investigation by the National Investigation Agency.”, the LRPF noted in its complaint.
The LRPF is also lodging a separate complaint with University Grants Commission and the National Council for Protection of Child Rights for immediate action to shut down the unauthorized institutions and order a detailed probe into their sexual harassment of minor children.
