In yet another instance of psychologically manipulating Hindus into doubting their own sanity, leftist and Dravidian Stockist news outlet The News Minute, published an article about alleging rising attacks on Christians by Hindus incited by “right-wing groups”.
The report stated how Christian groups experienced difficulties at the hands of “Hindutva forces” like Hindu Munnani in establishing prayer houses and carrying out prayer meetings. The report also alleged that the state police do not take such cases seriously allowing passing off “the well orchestrated attacks as conflict between individuals”.
Soon after the article was published, netizens started calling out the TNM for publishing a biased article that gaslights Hindus who are the receiving end of the mindless proselytization by Christian missionaries.
A Twitter user has questioned the veracity of the data on which the study is based, asking if TNM will accept the data provided by Hindu Munnani, as they got from the United Christian Forum (UCF).
The source for this data is a Christian evangelical organization. Is not vetted and this hate monger accepts it without question.
Wonder if Dhanya will accept data from the Hindu Munani on attacks against Hindus? https://t.co/LFnNuBk8JV

"according to statistics compiled by the United Christian Forum (UCF)"
Great journalism. The source of data is from the Church itself. No cross verification, no basic fact finding. Maybe because what the Church says is taken as "Biblical Truth"? https://t.co/xg8pQjwKe9

Another user commented on TNM’s double standard, claiming that TNM, which exposed Nithyananda alongside BBC, will not write a single word regarding sexual abuse in Christian organisations in Tamil Nadu.
Madam Danya is collaborating with the BBC to expose Nithyanatha.
But she won't write single word on rampant Sexual abuses across chritian institutions in TN but if conversion mafia beaten up by frustrated villagers…She jumps in to show the victim card for conversion mafia. https://t.co/4IJRi5Abu4— Ravi (@Ravi_4090) October 17, 2022
A user questioned TNM about “what their master, DMK”, has done in Tamil Nadu to protect minorities.
TNM is popularly perceived as the unofficial mouthpiece of the DMK as it peddles rhetoric in its favour.
pazhaya kathaiye pesittu irunthaa eppadi? intha avalam pathi pesu. what has the DMK govt done to protect minorities who helped you win the election?? Shªme Shªme Shªme https://t.co/yegrEfqovH

In another comment, a user that the article is a result of Annamalai making inroads into the alleged “Dravidian land” adding that TNM is the NDTV of the south.
Nice. I was not sure if Annamalai was making a huge difference in the ground but this article proves it beyond any doubt that he is gaining good ground in Dravidaland. Newsminute is anyways NDTV lite from South and Hindutva is the new target now means Annamalai is hitting 🎯 https://t.co/Jp6BvEgXPE

Ritu claimed that the report is completely biased and that the Tamil Nadu (DMK) government is constantly pro-Christian, abusing Hindu gods and customs, and that the government has demolished more Hindu temples while remaining mute about Christian unlawful occupations.
Completely biased report
Tamil Nadu has pro-Christian government which supported the christian lady behind sucide of hindu girl Lavanya
TN Christians openly abuse Hinduism&Hindu Gods.
TN govt keeps demolishing old temples but no action against illegal Churches on govt lands. https://t.co/5xxHuNJ7cV— Ritu #सत्यसाधक (@RituRathaur) October 17, 2022
In reference to the article, one user stated that TNM articles appear to be laboratories for standup comedy.
Your TNM seems to be a laboratory for Stand up comedians. https://t.co/U4H1ob7rfL
