Prof T J Jose has once again spoken words of forgiveness, this time to the Catholic Newman College Management.

Newman College sacked Prof Jose whose right hand was chopped off by radical PFI activists for preparing a controversial Malayalam question paper with alleged derogatory references to Mohammed. Social activist, Swami Agnivesh today described the attack against Prof Joseph as 'typically fundamental terror'. But greater shame is that his college has terminated him from service. Such managements are playing into the hands of fundamentalists, he said adding the college management should apologise and take him back into service
Sr.Stella said that her brother had not made any derrogatory references to Prophet Mohammed in the said passage of the question paper, but had only named a character as Mohammed. The passage was from the book of writer and film director P T Kunhumuhammed and his name had been used as a shortened version for the character,

The management of the Christian-run New Man college has informed T J Joseph that he had been removed from September 1 on the grounds that he had hurt religious sentiments,
