Deputy Director of the Bible Open University International (BOUI), one E Santhosh Kumar, in a viral video can be heard saying “Under the leadership of our beloved leader Mr PD Sundara Rao, we, on behalf of All India True Christian Council demand that India should be split into two and one half should be given to Christians as a separate country.”
The shocking video was posted by SC ST Rights Forum, an advocacy group that works to safeguard the rights of SC/STs on its Twitter handle. “We will not bother you then,” said the Pastor further. The video was shared on August 24.
