'Sanatana Dharma must be abolished': Udhayanidhi Stalin in Tamil Nadu assembly

During his maiden speech in the Tamil Nadu Assembly as the new leader of the Opposition, Stalin said: “May Tamil win. Long live Tamil Nadu. Sanatanam, which divides people, should be eradicated.”

Responding to his comments, the Bharatiya Janata Party on social media said that the DMK leader had “once again spread venom” against Sanatana Dharma.

“He has again called for Sanatan to be eradicated,” the Hindutva party said. “Remember, he is the same person who compared Sanatan Dharma to diseases such as malaria and dengue. Well, the people of Tamil Nadu have already rejected him and his ideology…So you know the mood of the state.”
