After anti-conversion law the BJP MLA Gulihatty D Shekhar is once again in limelight.
This time for Gharwapsi of his Mother who is earlier converted by Christian Missionaries.
He also said that the change has begun.+ @opindia#KarnatakaAnticonversionLaw#GulihattyDShekhar
“Four families and my mother came to the temple and participated in the rituals for their re-initiation into Hinduism. The change had to and has begun with my mother itself,” Shekhar was quoted as saying by a vernacular media channel.+
MLA's mother was first politely invited by Christian missionaries ‘to attend prayers’. Gradually, their influence worked so much that the lady stopped worshipping Hindu Gods, changed her phone ringtone to Christian prayers and even started objecting to Hindu religious practices.+
The MLA also stated that they are facing domestic issues because his mother does not want Hindu Gods worshipped in their house. If they try to object to his mother’s Christian leanings and insist on following Hindu practices in the family, she even threatens to commit suicide.
