Christian groups oppose Collector’s move to cancel Wilson Gymkhana lease

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Days after the state cabinet approved the handing over the lease of Wilson Gymkhana on Marine lines to the Jain International Organization, the Christian Reform United People Association on Wednesday wrote to the collector, chief minister, revenue minister, and MP Supriya Sule, objecting the move. “This order has dispossessed Wilson College from its Gymkhana at Marine Drive, Mumbai, which has resulted in widespread distress amongst the entire Christian community, students and public at large,” read the letter, signed by the association’s president, James Tivade, and secretary, Cyril Dara. The letter comes days after the United Church of North Indian Trust Association, the body which held the lease of the Wilson College Gymkhana, moved the high court last Friday and filed a writ petition opposing the Collector’s cancellation of the lease. “It is the irresponsible acts of the Wilson College Management, UCNI, and the former principal of Wilson College Vishwas J Sirwaiya, who is also the treasurer of UCNI and others that has led to this, costing the future of the students.” CRUPA plans to approach the Bombay High Court with a PIL in the coming days to keep the gymkhana with Wilson College and protect it from commercial exploitation.
