Hindu Community Leader urges South Korean government to drop charges against Shincheonji Chairman

Representative and trustee of the Vishvu Hindu Temple Trust in Maseru, Lesotho, Rajagopalan Pullanikkatil writes to South Korea authorities urging them to reconsider charges laid against Chairman Lee of Shincheonji.

“This letter is written in support of the HWPL Chairman, Man Hee Lee of South Korea for his selfless work with a view to achieve world peace. His initiative to move the United Nations to make a resolution to bring an appropriate law for Peace and Cessation of War was praiseworthy. I was fortunate to attend the 3rd Annual Commemoration on World Alliance of Religions Peace (WARP) Summit held in Seoul where eminent personalities worldwide had participated with great enthusiasm and spoke in unison supporting Chairman Lee’s initiatives.

I am extremely disturbed to understand the actions taken against the Chairman, after the COVID-19 outbreak at his church. I firmly believe that he is continuing to do everything in his power to aid in fighting against the Covid19 virus, and assist the relevant authorities where possible. I was extremely happy to find out that irrespective of the actions taken against the Chairman, he requested those of his church membership who had recovered from the virus, to donate their blood plasma for research in developing a treatment for the COVID-19 virus.

I fully support the Chairman and laud the selfless gesture from him and his congregation. I appeal the South Korean Government and other relevant authorities to drop all charges and lawsuits and support the efforts of the SHINCHEONJI Church in encouraging other recoverees to donate their plasma.

Let us all follow the noble example set by the Chairman and encourage support towards the fight against COVID-19. As members of the HWPL, our primary goal is unity, equality, respect and tolerance. Only together can we overcome the enormous challenges of the pandemic.

On behalf of the Hindu Community in Lesotho, I wish to urge the authorities in South Korea to be kind and considerate for the pure intentions and righteous actions taken up by the HWPL Chairman Man Hee Lee.”
