IELC – TA – Vellore property scam – mail sent by Rev. Y. Suvisesha Muthu, President

General1

Rev. Y. Suvisesha Muthu, President – IELC  sent a reply to Rev. Rajagambeeram by mail is as follow:

”  Dear Rev. Gambeeram,

Kindly note that I came to know about these issues two weeks back and made immediate inquiries and found a fraud letter was used to transfer the properties. We took immediate action and made arrangements to submit the documents to the IELC Administrator. The very next day copies of the documents started circulating in the internet, which clearly shows that some culprits are having the involvement  who want to grab the church properties. By this time you also should be knowing that huge amount of money was offered to Late Rev. Moon’s family if they handover the documents to someone in Vellore. But they refused. Now they are getting threat calls.
I agree it is every one’s responsibility to safe guard the church property, including the Ambur Synod, where the property is located. I think the Christ Lutheran Church Vellore congregation should file a complaint to the Administrator to take appropriate action.
In any event, I agree with Rev. Gopi that the matter should have been clarified with me or other officers before posting in the public domain. That only questions the purpose of doing it.
You know very well that our role in IELC Administration is much limited and more so that no one in the IELC is bothered to approach us.
I did not have much opportunities like you and other leaders to safeguard the IELC properties. For my part, I am doing whatever possible to defend the valuable Valliyoor property.
Now we requested the Honourable Administrator Justice Sri. Hariparanthaman, to recover the IELC Deaf School property and he will take appropriate action without fear or favor with the will and power provided by the Honourable High court. We also requested him to recover other such properties including Madurai and he is working on that.
Let us unitedly fight the land grabbing in IELC instead of blaming each other.
In Christ,
Rev. Y. SUVISESHAMUTHU,
President, IELC. “

A meeting with Dr. Solomon Sathish Kumar, Secretary, Christian Medical College Association, Vellore

General0

The Administrator met Dr. Solomon Sathish Kumar, the Secretary of the CMC Vellore Association,  in CMC at Vellore on 12.06.2019 at 4 PM along with Mr. M. Karunakaran, Secretary to the Administrator, Rev. K. Victor, President, Mr. Robert Joel, Secretary and Mr.Immanuel Rajasegaran, Treasurer of the Ambur Synod.

Dr. Solomon Sathishkumar made it clear that the sponsorship programme for all the courses for the  year 2019-20 in CMC, Vellore was already over and the IELC cannot get the sponsorship privilege for the year 2019-20.

He further stated that the Inspection Committee would submit its report about the inspection on 12.06.2019  of the Christian Welfare Centre (CWC), Malappuram, Kerala, the hospital of the IELC to the Credential Committee, CMC Vellore Association.

This inspection is part of the sponsorship credentialing process to consider IELC’s request for restoring its sponsorship privileges, according to Dr. Solomon Sathishkumar.

The Credential Committee, after perusing the Inspection report, would give its report to the Executive Committee, CMC Vellore Association.

The recommendations of the EC of the CMC Vellore Association. about the restoration of sponsorship privileges to the IELC will be placed before the   CMC Association ordinary General meeting on 27th & 28th June 2019 at Vellore, wherein the Administrator participates on behalf of the IELC.

The General meeting of the CMC Association would decide about the restoration of sponsorship privileges to the IELC in future years.

Therefore, the Administrator, IELC makes its very clear that no sponsorship through the IELC to the CMC, Vellore could be made for the year, that is 2019-20, for any course.

The restoration of the sponsorship privileges for the future  to the IELC will be known only after the general meeting of the CMC Vellore Association on 27th & 28th June 2019.

Note: We place on record our appreciation to Mr. Jesudasan, an employee of the CMC and a member of the IELC,  for getting appointment with the Dr. Solomon Sathish Kumar, Secretary, Christian Medical College Association, Vellore.

IELC-TA – Vellore property scam

General2

The mail exchange between Rev. Rajagambeeram and Rev. P.N. Gopinathan (Retd.), IELC on the          IELC-TA – Vellore property scam. 

Who benefited from the Scam ?

 

” Dear Rev. Rajagambeeram

Someone sent me a copy of your facebook posting about me and other IELC officers involvement in IELC Deaf school, Vellore land sale.

I am very much upset that a person of your caliber post matters  without verifying . First of all as I understand that it was not a sale but land exchange. One Mr. Vijayakumar from Vellore introduced one Payani to Rev. Moon and he started convincing Rev. Moon to exchange the land , as much as I can understand. Secondly , we, the officers of IELC never gave any letter or authorization to Rev. Moon. The letter is a fraud.

We are waiting to hear from the IELC Administrator to file a police complaint against the culprits. We are ready to face any inquiry in this regard. No church council resolution is passed during our period and how can we give a resolution like that? The church council minute book is open to all and is being scrutinized by the Administrator now.

You also know very well that the Trust Secretary signs any letter relating to IELC property and not the IELC secretary. May I ask you a question? Who was the President when the Madurai property was leased out to Dr. Arun Martin? It was You. I know who all received kick- backs and how much each one received.

You should have called any one of us to in a Christian way. The actual sale of land has taken place at Christ Lutheran Church Vellore. Please find some one from that Congregation who has the courage to take action on Mr. Vijayakumar. Nothing was done even after two years.

As soon as we came to know about the IELC Deaf school matters,we made arrangements to handover the entire documents to the IELC Administrator . The Rev. Moon family was offered Crores of Rupees  for the documents but they refused. Still they are being threatened by Mr. Vijayakumar and his minions for doing the right thing.

Now the Administrator IELC will take appropriate action to retrieve the land if it is a loss to the IELC or decide otherwise in his wisdom and knowledge after making inquires and won’t jump into immature conclusions.

In Christ

Rev. P N Gopinathan

Secretary, IELC “

 

” Dear pastor Gopinath,

Greetings in Jesus Christ  name.
Thank you for your reply to my facebook posting with regard to IELC properties sold/exchanged by Late Rev. Isaac moon in vellore.
First of all my posting in the FB is only to get clarified from you because your name along with other officers were in that communication.
Knowing this even before my posting in FB, you should have clarified your position in this land scam in Vellore and proceeded legal action to retrieve the properties  to IELC.
Now only you come out with the truth after my posting. I want these explanation and clarification should informed to the churches in IELC and to the LCMS so that you and the other officers must sent an open letter clarifying your non involvement in these allegation.
Again I request you to convene the church council and the IELC trust association to resolve to take legal proceeding against persons who forged your signatures and find out the ways and means to whether to recover the properties or recover the sale produce from the party.
One thing I want clarify the reason for posting in the FB is that the matter was travelling in the social media several months before my FB posting but you you are not serious about it. The churches were in suspicious about you leaders and started accusing you in this matter. Instead of proving your innocence you accusing me in the leasing out the property in By-pass Madurai, for your information every thing was transferant in that matter the trust general body. Committee of management with the approval of the church council I took the resolution to USA there Rev. Herbert Hoffer, The facilitator for India and Srilanka LCMS arranged a tripatriate meeting involving Rev. Robert Rogner, the Executive secretary ,International missions ,LCMS.Rev. David Birner, Associate secretary IM,LCMS, represenung LCMS. Rev.John Mehl,Asia director for LCMS Rev. Ted Engelbret former IELC trust secretary & treasurrer and Dr. Herbert hoeffer, Facilitator for India And Srilanka representing Asia team and myself representing IELC were attended the meeting in US, the LCMS record its appreciation the efforts of the IELC to develop the properties for income generation purpose and unanimously resolved to proceed leasing out a portion of the Madurai by-pass property then only with the knowledge of Dr. Miss Alice Braur the property leased out to one Dr. Arun Martin. All the documents pertaing to this is in the IELC trust office and in the IELC website(Dr. Hoeffer’s report of the Tripatriate meeting) available. With regard to the kick backs you said that you know very well about it. After 15 long years you come out with this charges I don’t know why you kept silent about this so long years. Instead of clearing your self you try to accusing me. You should also know that after my office over my predecessor Rev. Dr. J. Samuel few months after taking over the office of the president he himself leased out the adjusant portion of the land to the same Dr. Arun Martin I think you may know how much kick backs involved dealing  and come out. After that a property in Kardi patti ,Madural was sold out do know how much kick backs involved in it because you are well informed about the kick backs by the parties in these dealings and previous dealing in the period of Rev. John Hus,Rev. J. Isaac moon.
You mentioned the sale of the property by Christ Lutheran Church Vellore it not only responsibility of the congregation but knowing it immediately the IELC Trust association and the church council booked them legally and recover the land back.The persons in the responsible office can not evade the responsibility and blame others.
I appreciate your honest reply please take in to confidence of the office of the interim administrator Justice Mr. Hari Paranthaman appointed by the high court of Madras to retrieve the property legally because the property worth so much which will be sufficient to run IELC self support.
Please send an Open letter in this regard to the churches.
Regards.
God bless. “

 

Reply Mail sent to Mylakkara Pastorate, Trivandrum Synod on 11.06.2019

Trivandrum1

”  Sir

Due to the issue as to whether to retain Rev. R. Vijayakumar or not in Mylakkara Pastorate, the counselling for transfer of the Pastors scheduled to take place on 27.05.2019 and 28.05.2019 for the entire Trivandrum Synod did not take place.

The group that wanted to send out Rev. R. Vijayakumar, did not permit the counselling to proceed further on 27.05.2019.

On 28.05.2019, it was agreed that the next Transfer counselling in Trivandrum synod could be held on any one of the Mondays at the earliest after holding a secret ballot by the Administrator on the previous day, i.e. Sunday, in Mylakkara Pastorate to decide as to whether Rev.R.Vijayakumar could be retained or not.

Hence, I sent a communication dated 30.05.2019 to all the Pastorates in Traivandrum Synod that the counselling would take place on 17.06.2019, Monday and Mylakkara Pastorate was informed that the secret ballot in Mylakkara Pastorate would take place on 16.06.2019.

But, a mail was sent by the President and Secretary of Mylakkara Pastorate requesting the Administrator to avoid the proposed election on 16.06.2019 and to effect transfer as per the bye-laws of the IELC and Mylakkara Pastorate.

The bye-laws of the IELC do not contemplate transfer of a Pastor. I do not know about the bye-laws of the Mylakkara church about the transfer of a Pastor.

You are aware that a joint meeting of both the groups in the IELC was held on 02.04.2019 at Chennai in the presence of the Administrator to decide on various issues including the transfer of Pastors. In the said meeting it was decided to transfer the Pastors who have served for more than 6 years by way of counselling.

Later, representations were received from many places that the Pastors who have crossed 60 years of age could either be transferred or retained in the concerned church as per the decision of the church members.

In Mylakkara Pastorate, there is no unanimous decision either to transfer or to retain Rev. R. Vijayakumar who is to retire in about one and half year.

Hence, it was decided to resolve by holding decision.

Further, there are other issues in Mylakkara Pastorate and I am willing to sort-out those issues by holding discussion with both the groups.

Hence, I will visit Mylakkara Pastorate on 16.06.2019 to discuss the issues with you and also with Rev. Vijayakumar and his supporters.

I request you not to interfere / prevent the Transfer Counselling that is scheduled to take place on 17.06.2019 for Trivandrum Synod, as the counselling in Ambur Synod and Nagercoil Synod were successfully conducted. “
