Excerpts
His open and public preaching of Christianity has raised the hackles of right-wing groups who are campaigning against him.
In a letter, TN Chief secretary K Gnanadesikan told the commissioner for disciplinary proceedings, Umashankar: "It has been brought to the notice of government that you are going to take part in preaching and propagating activities in Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Kanniyakumari districts from January 24 to January 26 which are likely to cause communal disharmony and disturbance to public order. You are directed not to indulge in such activities which are unbecoming of a member of the service, failing which, necessary and appropriate action would be taken under relevant provisions of All India Services (conduct) Rules, 1968 read with the All India Services (Discipline & Appeal ) Rules, 1969."
The chief secretary also referred to Umashankar's previous visit to Kanniyakumari district on January 16 in which "he indulged in activities which created disturbance to public order resulting in registration of two cases in Pudukadai police station in the district".

"In a move that deepens the debate over freedom of religion, the Tamil Nadu government has directed one of its IAS officers not to go ahead with his "preaching and propagating" activities and warned that if he failed to do so action would taken against him...."

>>> Is the insistence on religious conversions by some people hijacking the Constitutional guarantee on religious equality and freedom for all (everyone has the equal right to pray / worship, or not pray / worship, while even having the deity / deities of one’s own choice and using own preferred mode of prayer / worship) to fulfill their own personal religious agenda based on spurious scriptural edicts which profess religious inequality and denigration of others (calling them non-believers and evil etc.) and require their extermination / elimination until they convert?
