“Patthalgadi is an age old tradition, but probably due centre’s efforts to ban on illegal funding of fake NGOs and State Government’s move to bring anti-conversion law, has in one way somehow have disturbed the missionaries involved in it and Church is also a part of it, and it appears that they have been doing it in the garb of Patthalgadi,” said lal. He, however, said that the Stage Government has been looking into it and the administration will definitely take action against them, he added.

He also praised the initiative taken by the Centre and State Governments for introducing Indian languages in examinations like NIIT and UPSC and demanded same for other competitive examinations.
