The Twitter user Sunny tweeted: "Madam Truschke, please don't support these "Ba$tard" Hindus; they do not deserve to exist. The Hindus are an outdated and gone-off race which needs to be Christianized and they need to be baptized as they don't believe in the development and preservation of ALL!"

Sharing the link to his Gulf News article on the same topic, Ashok Swain, Professor of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University, writes: "An online mob was unleashed on me once again last week, calling me a 'Hinduphobic'. Here I explain why 'Hinduphobia' is nothing but an epithet created by a group to legitimize anti-minority politics in India & to defame secular & progressive Hindus."

While delegitimizing the term Hinduphobia as a mere exaggeration to put down relevant and critical voices advocating for Hindu reform, the writer furthers the idea that the term is purely a political tool used to protect the ruling government in India from its opponents and which is gaining traction in the West. Also, people from every other background are given more justification to claim discrimination, while for Hindus, claims of prejudice and Hindu hatred are labelled as unfounded.

The pastor had made the contentious remarks during a meeting on July 18 at Arumanai. George Ponnaya, a Christian clergyman and adviser to the Democratic Christian Council, was booked at Arumana police station under seven sections, including illegal additions, inciting animosity between caste, religion and both parties, disturbing public peace and spreading slander on religious beliefs. During the meeting with his followers, Ponnaiah condemned the closure of churches and the ban on conducting prayer meetings amidst the Coronavirus lockdown. He paid tribute to late Maoist sympathizer Stan Swamy and also criticized the move to deny permits to build new churches on patta land. Fr Ponnaiah also insulted Bharat Mata by claiming that she is dirty and can cause scabies. During his public address, he mocked MR Gandhi for not wearing footwear out of respect for Mother Earth (Bhumadevi/Bharat Mata). “But we wear shoes. Why? Because the impurities of Bharat Mata should not contaminate us. The Tamil Nadu government has given us free footwear. This bhumadevi is dangerous, you could catch scabies from it,” the pastor brazened it out. The pastor also issued veiled threats to the Hindu community about the changing demographics of the State. “We are now the majority (in the Kanyakumari district) from 42 percent we have crossed 62 percent. Soon we would be 70 percent. You cannot stop us. I am saying this as a warning to my Hindu brothers.” A day prior to his arrest on Saturday, Father George Ponnaiah claimed, “Speech was edited and circulated in the social media. My words were twisted as if I hurt and degraded the sentiments of Hindu brothers and sisters.” He alleged that he did not intend to hurt religious sentiments through his contentious speech. While vowing to not repeat such words in the public domain, he said, “In case our speech had been that way, I wholeheartedly apologise on behalf of the meeting.”
