Naduvakurichi village in Palayankottai, Tiruneveli district, has a significant population of Scheduled Caste people. People in the area alleged that on a routine basis, a CSI Church van would pick up children from the village, brainwash them, and then return them to the village in the evening.
Upon knowing of this incident, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad in Tirunelveli went to the village and taught the children about the Hindu religion’s epics and glories in a manner that they could understand. Members of the VHP have advised the children not to go with any religious conversion groups, such as the CSI Church. VHP members have also decided to take legal action against CSI Church for deceiving and converting children.
In connection to this incident, Tirunelveli district VHP office bearers Muthuraj, Isakki, Chandrasekar and Ramesh met the Palayankottai Tahsildar and lodged an official complaint. Vishwa Hindu Parishad said it would mobilize villagers and organize a protest if they do not take immediate action.
