As per the Gymkhana's officials, the action was taken after some members objected to Jemimah's father using the club's premises to practice religious activities and have alleged that there were events carried out to 'convert' the 'vulnerable', said a report published in The Indian Express.

바카라œThe honorary three-year membership given to Ms. Jemimah Rodrigues was revoked pursuant to a resolution passed by the members who attended the general meeting held on October 20, 2024,바카라 Khar Gymkhana president Vivek Devnani was quoted as saying by Indian Express.

바카라œWe came to know that Jemimah Rodrigues바카라™s father was attached to an organisation called Brother Manuel Ministries. They booked the presidential hall for almost a year and a half and held 35 events. We all know what was happening there,바카라 Khar Gymkhana managing committee member Shiv Malhotra said.

바카라œWe hear about conversions all over the country, but it바카라™s happening right under our nose. There was dancing, expensive music equipment, and big screens. As per Khar Gymkhana바카라™s bye-laws, Rule 4A of the constitution, Khar Gymkhana does not permit any religious activity,바카라 he added.

As per the former Gymkhana president Nitin Gadekar, he was informed of Jemimah's father's 'religious practices' by a staffer.

바카라œMe, Malhotra, and a few other members went to see it. We saw the room was dark, trance music was playing, and a lady was saying, 바카라˜He is coming to save us.바카라™ I was surprised how Gymkhana can allow this in the first place. We protested, and it was decided to cancel her membership,바카라 Gadekar said.

Speaking of Jemimah, she was recently part of the Women's T20 World Cup squad that failed to make it to the knockout rounds. However, she has made the cut for the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand women starting from October 24 in Ahmedabad
