Former Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin faced criticism after reiterating his call to abolish Sanatan Dharma in the Assembly. He emphasized the importance of Tamil culture and objected to the sidelining of the Tamil invocation song.
Stalin’s remarks during the recent swearing-in ceremony of the new government stirred controversy. BJP Telangana President N. Ramachandra Rao condemned Stalin’s stance, emphasizing the significance of Sanatan Dharma and Hindutva in Tamil Nadu and across the country.
Rao warned that Stalin’s anti-Hindu statements could provoke public backlash. He highlighted the cultural importance of temples in Tamil Nadu and criticized the DMK for its alleged disrespect towards the Hindu community.
Udhayanidhi Stalin repeated his controversial statements in the presence of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Vijay during Assembly proceedings. However, the Chief Minister refrained from publicly addressing the issue.
