Lok Sabha MP from Tirunelveli S Gnanathiraviam was served a notice by his party — DMK — on Tuesday in connection with an alleged assault on a Christian priest on Monday.
This comes after a case was registered by the Palayamkottai police, naming Gnanathiraviam and 20 others for assaulting Godfrey Noble, a self-styled bishop.
DMK general secretary and PWD minister S Duraimurugan issued a notice to Gnanathiraviam, demanding an explanation within seven days of receipt of the notice.
Sources in the Diocese said a dispute between two factions within the Tirunelveli diocese of the Church of South India led to the incident.
“We have many schools and colleges and Gnanathiraviam was in charge of a school as a patron. He was recently removed from his post by one faction. The rival faction and a few supporters of the MP challenged the decision and heated arguments led to the assault of a priest,” said a diocese official.
