1. Balkrishnan, a hotel manager in Madurai, had embraced Christianity along with his wife and two children a few years ago. The elder son is a doctor while the younger son is pursuing medical education.
2. Balkrishnan’s wife Malathi was undergoing treatment for heart disease. She eventually died due to it. Her body was kept at her residence. When the family failed to perform last rites on the dead body even after three days, the neighbours complained to the Police.
3. When the Police asked about the last rites, Balkrishnan said, ‘We are waiting for the pastor’. Balakrishnan and his two children hoped that the prayers would resurrect Malathi.
4. In another incident in 2021, a woman from a converted family was not taken to the hospital after a priest told that ‘Jesus will not save her if she is admitted to the hospital’. (Why don’t the so-called intellectuals utter a word about such priests ? – Editor)
5. Later, after the death of the woman, her children aged 13 and 9 were kept with the dead body for 20 days. At that time too, the Police had to intervene and compel for performing the last rites.
