In a petition to Tamil Nadu Minority Welfare Commission, Indu Makkal Katchi (IMK) chief Arjun Sampath has requested the commission to remove Christians from the minority commission list and include Hindus in the list.
He stated in his petition to the Tamil Nadu Minority Welfare Commission, “In Kanyakumari, Hindus have become a minority, while Christians have become the majority. The census data back up this claim. As a result, Hindus in Kanya Kumari should be classified as a minority.”
He added that Hindus in Kanya Kumari should be granted the same protection, benefits, and rights as minorities because Christians have become the majority in the district, and the district’s administration is run by the Church in the villages where Hindus are the minority.
He accused Christian pastors of mobilizing Christians to protest who attend church for prayer and of deciding who Christians should vote for in elections. He claims that church pastors are misleading locals and inciting them to rebel against democratically elected state and central governments.
