PM Modi addresses Udhayanidhi Stalin’s remark
Sanatan Dharma

Sanatan Dharma has caused an agitation amid political circles in India. Responding to Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin’s “Sanatana Dharma”
remark which caused a row in political circles, PM Modi said that the TN Ministe’s remark needs ‘ proper response’.

PM Modi’s response comes a day after Udhayanidhi Stalin flagged President of India Droupadi Murmu not being invited to inauguration of new Parliamnet building, as an example of discrimination by the practioners of ‘Sanatan Dharma’.

He has invariably said he is ready to face any legal action for his comments. However, reports come to the fore that attempts are being made to get the Tamil Nadu Governor’s sanction to initiate action against him.

As per Police reports on Wednesday, an FIR was registered against the DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s son Priyank Kharge for allegedly outraging religious feelings.

Stalin was booked for his call to eradicate Sanatan Dharma and Kharge for backing his remark.
and were booked under sections 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts to outrage religious feelings) and 153 A (promoting enmity between different religious groups) of the IPC at Civil Lines Police Station on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, a fresh poster war has now erupted amidst the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Coimbatore. Both parties have vield attacks against each other through posters.

According to visuals from Coimbatore, DMK has put up posters criticising Ayodhya head seer Paramhans Acharya for his death threat to Udhyanidhi, even as the BJP has put up a poster reiterating its support for Sanatan Dharma.

DMK leader Udhyanidhi’s remark has sparked massive controversy across the nation. Several BJP leaders, including priests of many temples, have strongly criticized Udhyanidhi for making an ‘anti-Sanatan’ statement.

But, Udhayanidhi doesn’t seem to have been impacted by all the criticism and is however ready to repeat whatever he said at the conference.

The BJP has demanded an apology from the DMK leaders and even claiming that an “anti-Sanatan” agenda was discussed amid the opposition bloc meeting that held in Mumbai this month.
