DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin
In the midst of a national uproar brought on by his remarks about “Sanatan Dharma,” DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of “twisting” his remarks and disseminating false information, adding that he is prepared to face any legal action brought against him.
Speaking to reporters, Udhayanidhi Stalin said,”I am ready to face whatever cases they file against me. BJP is scared of the INDIA Alliance and to divert that they are saying all this. DMK’s policy is One clan, one God.”
DMK leader criticized Sanatan Dharma
Udhayanidhi Stalin, the leader of the DMK, asserted that he simply criticized Sanatana Dharma and that the BJP is misrepresenting him and disseminating false information on this matter.
“I am saying again that I only criticised Sanatana Dharma and that Sanatana Dharma should be eradicated. I will say this continuously. Few are being childish saying I invited for genocide while others are saying that Dravidam should be abolished. Does that mean DMKians should be killed?” he said.
“When PM Modi says ‘Congress Mukth Bharat’, does that mean congressmen should be killed? What is Sanatana? Sanatana means nothing should be changed and all are permanent. But the Dravida model calls for change and all should be equal. BJP twisting my statement and spreading fake news, it’s their usual job,” he added.
DMK Leader: Sanatan Dharma ought to be eliminated
Sanatan Dharma ought to be eliminated, according to former DMK leader Udhayanidhi. In response to these statements, BJP President JP Nadda harshly criticized the Tamil Nadu Minister and subtly attacked Rahul Gandhi, head of the Congress, by claiming that “Mohabbat ki Dukan” is fomenting hatred and asking whether the INDIA coalition would employ an anti-Hindu campaign in the future elections.
“Are you going to use this anti-Hindu strategy in the upcoming elections? You have proved multiple times that you hate everything related to our country and your ‘Mohabbat ki Dukan is spreading hate,” the BJP president said.

Here’s what Amit Shah said
Hitting back at the DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, Home Minister Amit Shah said, “For the last two days, the INDIA alliance has been insulting ‘Sanatana Dharma’. Leaders of DMK and Congress are talking about ending ‘Sanatana Dharma’ just for vote bank politics. This is not the first time they have insulted our ‘Sanatana Dharma”.
Anti-national behavior of DMK leader
On Sunday, BJP leader Sushil Modi alleged that DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin had engaged in anti-national behavior by advocating the abolition of “Sanatana Dharma” and questioned the INDIA alliance’s major leaders’ silence on the matter.
“Udhayanidhi Stalin should be detained and jailed. He is spreading hatred in the community. On one side Rahul Gandhi says ‘Nafrat ke bazaar mein Mohabbat ki dukaan’ and on the other side, a major leader of their ally in Tamil Nadu is saying to eradicate ‘Sanatana Dharma’ completely. This is an Anti-national act,” he said.
Why is ‘INDIA’ silent?
He further questioned the silence of the leaders in the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA). “Rahul Gandhi, Nitish Kumar, Lalu Yadav and other prominent leaders of INDIA alliance should come out and mention whether they agree with this or not. All prominent leaders of Congress are silent on this issue. It seems they (leaders of INDIA alliance) agree with Udhayanidhi’s remarks,” he said.
