Hindutva group Bajrang Dal has warned the management of the Millennium Club in Mumbai’s Juhu against allowing evangelical activities on weekends, alleging that religious conversions were taking place on the club premises, The Times of India reported on Thursday.
The development came after another club in the city, the Khar Gymkhana, cancelled the membership of cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues on Sunday, The Indian Express reported.
This came after some members objected to her father Ivan using the gymkhana premises for “religious activities” and alleged that he was organising events to “convert” the “vulnerable”, the newspaper quoted Khar Gymkhana officials as saying.
At the Millennium Club, members belonging to the Protestant Christian denomination have been conducting prayers inside a hall on Sundays for more than a year, according to The Times of India.
Siddharth Khosa, son of former Congress MLA Baldev Khosa, who has been a part of the prayer meetings, refuted the claims made by the Hindutva group.
