TV Anchor Gets 2000 Hate Calls

About a debate program on celebrating Mahishasura Jayanti on Asianet TV Channel, the anchor got more than 2000 hate calls in a day.

The topic was about Mahishasura birth anniversary celebrations to be considered as Treason or not. The chief coordinating editor and anchor at Asianet Kerala, Sindhu Suryakumar hosted a show on February 26th, that attracted numerous hate calls.

Allegedly, Sindhu mentioned a Hindu goddess as sex worker and that evoked lot of people to post hate comments on her Facebook account, among which one of them posted her phone number between those comments.

Sindhu complained to police about the whole happening and got few people arrested. All of them belong to BJP, RSS or Sreerama Seva organisations.

The TV host tried to justify her comments saying she did not refer the Hindu Goddess as sex worker, but questioned a letter read by a BJP leader VV Rajesh on that show. She denied saying anything like 'what is wrong in referring a Hindu Goddess as a sex worker'.
