People Representation for Identity and Status of Mizoram (PRISM) ,the anti corruption watchdog turned political party, asked the newly appointed Governor Kummanam Rajasekharan to leave the state as there is “apprehension” over his alleged anti secular activities in Kerala. The statement has come only a day after he was appointed as the Governor of the state. A campaign has already been set in motion to oust the “radical Hindu” out of the state. PRISM has requested all political parties, church organisations, NGOs and the people to join the campaign.
In a statement issued by the president of PRISM Vanlalruata and general Secretary Lalrinzuala Chawgnthu, they said ” We all know that Mr. Kummanam Rajasekharan was newly sworn in as the Governor of our state. He is well-known for his anti-secularism that goes against the Indian Constitution. He has been a hardcore member of RSS, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Hindu Aikya Vedi; well known as being against Christian missionaries and Christians in general. He was the general convener of Nilakkal Action Council and was directly instrumental in the Nilakkal Hindu-Christian conflict of 1983″

PRISM appears to have done it’s homework in looking in to the past of Kummanam as they said “Rajasekharan was also one of the key accused when American Christian missionary, Joseph Cooper, was attacked and injured, and was actively involved in attempting to drive out about 50 Christian missionaries they had listed in 2003. He was the person who had asked the then Governor to take action against the then Chief Secretary when Kerala Chief Secretary delivered God’s word in the bicentenary celebration of Malankara Orthodox Church in 2015 “
PRISM said it doesn’t want a person like Kummanam as Governor in a poll bound state like Mizoram. Organisations like Global Council of Indian Christian’s have held firm that Mizoram is a Christian state and they don’t want a person actively involved in Hindu Organisations to be the Governor. A lot of them say that this appointment is an election tactic of BJP.
