Secunderabad: Christian leaders of Telangana State, under the aegis of Telangana Christian JAC, protested against the remarks made by nominated MLA Elvis Stephenson hurting the religious sentiments of the community.
Some 100 members gathered at the St. Mary's Church in Secunderabad and shouted slogans and burnt an effigy of Elvis Stephenson. The Telangana Christian JAC originally planned to take out a rally as a protest from St. Mary's Church to Keys High School. But, the idea was dropped as the police did not grant permission.
The JAC demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao sack the MLA and also urged the Speaker to expunge his speech from the records of the Assembly. The JAC also decided to submit memorandums to Chief Minister, Assembly Speaker and Minister for Minorities on Monday against the MLA.
Gopu Bala Reddy, President of Catholic Reddy Association; Arogya Reddy, Shashidhar Reddy, Youth Director Roydin Roach, Telangana State President of All India Catholic Union; Larry Hatch, president of Anglo Indian Association; Ingrid Payal Khurana; Sandra from Catholic Community; LM Reddy from Catholic Christian Community, and several others raised slogans against the MLA and joined in burning the effigy of Elvis Stevenson.
