A self-proclaimed writer and activist named Shalin Maria Lawrence who also comes across as a DMK supporter posted in her Facebook page that religious conversion of Hindus in Tamil Nadu is essential for arresting the growth of BJP in the state.
In her post, Shalin Maria Lawrence said “There are two ways to arrest the growth of BJP in Tamil Nadu. One is religious conversion. The other is to steadfastly take the thoughts of Iyothithasar and Ambedkar.”
She also added that the ‘BJP will use the atheism as a weapon’ to its advantage.
Shalin further added that bringing about changes in the culture and restoring (read distorting) history is the need of the hour to counter communal politics.
A screen shot of this post is now going viral on social media.
After several netizens called out the problematic post, the DMK and VCK symapthizer has edited the post removing the suggestion about ‘religious conversion’.
