Tamil Nadu Youth Welfare and Sports Development Udhayanidhi Stalin’s ‘Sanatana Dharma should be eradicated’ remark sparked a political row. Reacting to his Sanatana Dharma remark, Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party President K Annamalai on September 03 took aim at him by saying that eradication of a particular culture is called genocide. On top of that, he urged 142 crore people of the country to condemn his TN Minister’s remark. Speaking to ANI, he said, “The word ‘Sanatana Dharma’ was there even before the Christian religion or Islamic religion came. 'Sanatana Dharma' means eternal, timeless dharma. It has been there for a long long time. What Udhayanidhi spoke yesterday should be condemned by the 142 crore people of the country because hatred for a particular religion came out yesterday. He was reading the speech from a text, which was consciously prepared. The eradication of a particular culture is called genocide. Who is Udhayanidhi Stalin to abolish ‘Sanatana Dharma’.”
