Church-Baby new fight.

Church-Baby new fight.
Sir,
It is ironical that a person who had benefited much from an establishment often turns more hostile to the establishment. This I say because in the institution where I worked most of my time occurrence was of that sort. There were two categories of staff members-one group recruited on merit and the other on communal reservation or with special interest of the managing council members. The latter group was seen more inimical to the management at the fag end of their service.

The same story runs between Kerala Education Minister MA baby and his mentor the Kerala Catholic Church. Baby was once Altar boy and supposed to be a believer of the church. For personal gain or otherwise he abandoned church, became a communist and then a minister- a minister of controversy. He is seen most hostile to catholic church and the entire education system in the state is in shamble with his wickedness.

Recently Baby accused the clergy of setting eyes on profit in the education sector.
He said some Christian missionaries were seeing the education sector as a business which could help them make good profit on the capital they invested. Baby’s comment out rightly is obnoxious and unbecoming of a minister who bombasts for secular credentials. The money, if any, collected by church from rich persons for admitting their children without adequate standard are again invested for establishing more educational institutions and there by enabling more poor children to study. The Church spends no money for setting up amusement parks or star hotels. Why baby’s party with earnings in tune with that of a multinational company is not able to found an educational institution of repute? Why are sons and daughters party cadres not provided with opportunity that is available only for party top brasses?

No doubt, priests could claim more than any political leader in the state about enhancement of human values and the uplift of the poor.
