Chennai/IBNS: I stand firmly by every word I have spoken, said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalins minister son Udhayanidhi Stalin snubbing criticism from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over his call for an eradication of Sanatan Dharma.
Following his words, BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya wrote on X, Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Tamilnadu CM MK Stalin, and a minister in the DMK Govt, has linked Sanatana Dharma to malaria and dengue
He is of the opinion that it must be eradicated and not merely opposed. In short, he is calling for genocide of 80% population of Bharat, who follow Sanatan Dharma.
Malviya has also linked DMKs ally in Tamil Nadu, Congress, besides taking a dig at the opposition alliance INDIAs Mumbai meet.
Malviya said, DMK is a prominent member of the Opposition block and a long standing ally of the Congress. Is this what was agreed in the Mumbai meet?

Sharing Malviyas post, Udhayanidhi wrote on X, I never called for the genocide of people who are following Sanatan Dharma. Sanatan Dharma is a principle that divides people in the name of caste and religion. Uprooting Sanatan Dharma is upholding humanity and human equality.
I stand firmly by every word I have spoken. I spoke on behalf of the oppressed marginalized, who suffer due to the Sanatan Dharma. I am ready to present the extensive writings of Periyar and Ambedkar, who conducted in-depth research on Sanatan Dharma and its negative impact on society in any forum.
The DMK leader, who is the Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development, added, Let me reiterate the crucial aspect of my speech: I believe, like the spread of diseases like COVID-19, Dengue, and Malaria by mosquitoes, that Sanatan Dharma is responsible for many social evils.
I am prepared to confront any challenges that come my way, whether in a court of law or the peoples court. Stop spreading fake news.
I never called for the genocide of people who are following Sanatan Dharma. Sanatan Dharma is a principle that divides people in the name of caste and religion. Uprooting Sanatan Dharma is upholding humanity and human equality.

What did Stalin Jr. say about Sanatan Dharma?
In an address in Chennai last Saturday, Udhayanidhi said as quoted by The Indian Express, Some things cannot be opposed, they should be eradicated. Mosquitoes, dengue fever, malaria, and Corona cannot be opposed. They should be eradicated. So should Sanatan (Dharma).
The DMK minister said, What did Sanatanam do to women? It prevented them from stepping out of the house, made them commit sati (self-immolation on their husbands pyre), and shave their head and wear a white saree post their husbands death. It also led to child marriages.
While we think of introducing schemes to benefit our students education, fascists are coming up with schemes to stop them from achieving that because the principle of Sanatanam is that we shouldnt study at all, and NEET is one fine example of that, he added.
