PM Modi’s statement was a dig at Opposition amid the row over DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin’s controversial remark on ‘Sanatana Dharma’
Giving his take on the Sanatana Dharma row in which Udhayanidhi Stalin of the DMK is under fire, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday that the people of this “INDIA alliance want to erase that ‘Sanatana Dharma’ which gave inspiration to Swami Vivekananda and Lokmanya Tilak”
PM Modi was speaking in poll-bound MP’s Bina where he inaugurated mega developmental projects.
Udhayanidhi, who is the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, was speaking last week at a Sanatanam (‘Sanatana Dharma’) Abolition Conclave organised by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers Forum where he said that ‘Sanatana’ is against equality and social justice.
He likened ‘Sanatana Dharma’ to the coronavirus, malaria and dengue. and said such things should not be opposed but eliminated. ‘Sanatana’ divided people on the basis of caste, he said.
