A picture has gone viral on social media in which a garbage collecting vehicle of the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) can be seen having a logo with a cross.

This vehicle was reportedly spotted by a resident of Kilpauk on Sunday (August 8) morning. The logo painted on the garbage collection truck of the GCC shows a cross placed on a pedestal with a flag on the top and dot at the intersection of the cross. Two incomplete circle encloses the cross denoting the letters C in ‘Chennai’ and ‘Corporation’.

 

This image has caused a stir on social media with many alleging that the DMK government in Tamil Nadu is trying to Christianize Tamil Nadu to satisfy its core vote bank who voted en masse for the DMK.

 

The allegation comes in the light of the government making a number of controversial appointments. Recently, a Christian priest named Father Maria  as a member of the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission who is also an open Maoist symapthizer. Mariasusai is the Rector of Janodaya Salesian College at The Retreat, Yercaud, and is a Christian priest of the Salesian order. Father Mariasusai has an extremely controversial past as he allegedly had a close relationship with recently deceased ‘Urban Naxal’ and fellow Christian priest Stanislaus Lourduswamy, aka Stan Swamy.

In another controversial appointment, the DMK government headed by MK Stalin appointed Dindigual Leoni as the head of the Tamil Nadu Textbook & Educational Services Corporation who is also a Christian.

Hence, it is in this light that netizens have raised concerns about the DMK government trying to ‘Christianize Tamil Nadu’. Here are some reactions on social media.
