Udhayanidhi Stalin triggered a political row after he compared the Sanatan Dharma with diseases like dengue and malaria. “Such things should not be opposed but destroyed,” he said while speaking at an event in Chennai last week.
Just days after DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin stoked a row demanding the eradication of Sanatan Dharma, his party colleague K Ponmudy has made a controversial remark, alleging that the I.N.D.I.A alliance was formed with the sole purpose of abolishing the Sanatan Dharma. Ponmudy made the remarks while speaking at the Sanatan Abolition Conference. The DMK leader claimed that all 26 parties of the Opposition I.N.D.I.A alliance is committed to ensuring equality and social justice and was united in fighting against the principles of Sanatan Dharma.
“I.N.D.I.A has been formed to fight against the principles of Santan Dharma, We may have differences but the 26 parties in the alliance are united in the fight against Sanatan Dharma,” said the DMK minister. “We all agree on one point when it comes to abolishing the Sanatan Dharma. We all want the same thing, equality, social justice, protection for minorities, and gender equality. You and I can only speak on this, but only when we win in politics, we can make sure we can make changes,” he added. The video of his speech has now gone viral on social media platforms, eliciting a sharp response from the BJP.
Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai said that the comment has exposed the true face of the I.N.D.I.A alliance. “DMK Minister Thiru Ponmudi reaffirms that the I.N.D.I. alliance was formed on the plank of opposition to Sanatana Dharma. Eradicating Hinduism seems to be a single-point agenda of the parties in the I.N.D.I.A. alliance.
BJP MP from Jaipur and National Spokesperson Rajyavardhan Rathore also mounted an attack on the entire Opposition bloc saying that the alliance has declared a full-scale assault on Hindus. Quoting the DMK minister’s statement, Rathore wrote on X, “He is K. Ponmudy, Higher Education Minister of Tamil Nadu and DMK leader. The Ghamandiya alliance has declared a full-scale assault on Hindus of this country.”
