Reacting to the reports that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked his colleagues to fight falsehoods and attacks on issues of faith.
CM Stalin said, “In these circumstances, it is disheartening to hear from the national media that Prime Minister Modi mentioned that Udhayanidhi’s remarks need a proper response during a meeting of his council of ministers.”
Satyraaj the actor who is popular as Kattappa in the movie Baahubali criticised PM Modi and supported Udayaaanidhi Stalin.
Under intense attack from the BJP over his alleged anti-Sanatan Dharma remarks, Udhayanidhi Stalin mounted an offensive on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as he accused the saffron party leaders of “twisting” his statements made at a writers’ conference in Chennai last week over the issue.
A major political controversy erupted earlier this month after a video of DMK leader and Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin calling for the eradication of Sanatana Dharma,a set of duties and way of living as proscribed in the Hindu religion to establish social justice and equality surfaced on social media.
Udayanidhi the minister said in Tamil, “Few things cannot be opposed, they should only be abolished. We can’t oppose dengue, mosquitoes, or coronavirus [Covid-19], we have to eradicate them.
In the same way, we have to eradicate Sanatana [Dharma]. Rather than merely opposing Sanatana, it should be eradicated.”
