A non secular orator’s controversial assertion at a authorities college in Chennai that disabilities and deformities are the results of misdeeds dedicated in previous lives has sparked an argument and led to him being detained by the police.
‘Maha Vishnu’, the founding father of NGO Paramporul Basis, had made the remark at a authorities college, the place he was invited to ship a motivational speech not too long ago. A video additionally reveals him arguing with a specifically abled trainer who objected to his comment on disabilities.
The non secular orator was detained on Saturday upon his arrival from Australia.
After the video – whose authenticity has not been established by NDTV – went viral, a number of teams working for the specifically abled filed police complaints in opposition to Maha Vishnu and demanded strict motion.
The Tamil Nadu authorities ordered an inquiry and the principals of two authorities faculties the place Maha Vishnu had spoken have been transferred.
State Schooling Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamoyzhi mentioned a faculty must be a spot the place scientific mood is nurtured, not superstition. “We are going to take strict motion after we get stories from the native authorities on how this occurred”.
To a selected query on the orator misbehaving with the trainer, Mr Poyyamoyzhi mentioned motion can be taken in opposition to Maha Vishnu.
On Friday, Maha Vishnu had mentioned he was not hiding and had finished no incorrect, including that he would reply to all allegations on the Chennai airport after he returned from Australia.
After the town police detained Maha Vishnu for investigation, a member of his staff apologised on his behalf and mentioned the orator may by no means intend to harm the emotions of the specifically abled.
