It is apparent from the compilation that Rai is using his position to spread Christianity and conversion to Christianity in Sikkim,โ the VHP leader who is also a senior advocate wrote.
โI believe that the assignment of the Political Secretary of a Chief Minister and the responsibility of a pastor engaged in promoting Christianity are two different things. They should not be allowed to be mixed,โ he added.
Kumar said that he wanted to bring Shahโs attention to the matter.
