hand and inflicted stab injuries on his thigh and legs. He had been rushed to the Specialitys

attacked him near his house.According to Stella, the gang first pushed the family members out of
the car and later severed Joseph's right hand. Both his hands from the wrist have been severely
damaged.
Global council of Indian Christians(GCIC) condemned the attack against Joseph. The attackers
must be brought to book soon and pray that this will not disappear from the police files as always,
under any threat from the Islamic Militants of Kerala.
A team under the Muvatupuzha DySP have started the investigations .
Professor T.J. Joseph, was held last March for preparing the question paper with an
objectionable reference to the Prophet for the internal examination of second year B.Com
Malayalam students.
The teacher was on the run after various Muslim groups protested in Thodupuzha, a town near
here. Thodupuzha remained tense after clashes broke out in the town and district authorities
ordered a ban on the assembly of people.
A case was registered against Joseph following Education Minister M.A. Baby's intervention after
the issue surfaced in the Kerala assembly March 26.The civil society excluding the Islamic
Militants expressed anguish over increased attacks against christians in Kerala and lamented that
THIS KIND OF NONSENSE ONLY TAKE PLACE IN INDIA. ISLAMIC LAW IS NOT THE LAW OF
THE LAND.
.
The case is under process, and the decision is on the judiciary, nobody has the right to take law
in their hands, this is purely a barbarian act. GCIC strongly oppose this, religion comes after
human beings,we are all human beings created by God
