The former minister Ravi Shankar Prasad attacked the opposition’s INDIA bloc and made accusations that the parties have an agenda behind attacking Sanatana Dharma for vote bank politics. He also questioned why the opposition was silent over DMK leader Stalin’s remark on Sanatana Dharma. Sonia Gandhi also chose not to speak on the matter and remain silent.
