Congress leader Pawan Khera on Thursday made an attempt to pacify the ongoing political stir over DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin's remarks on Sanatan Dharma saying every single member of the I.N.D.I.A alliance has immense respect for every community, religion, and faith. MK Stalin-led DMK is one of the allies in the newly constituted opposition's alliance.
"The Congress has believed in 'Sarvdharm Sambhav' wherein nobody can treat any particular faith as less than any other faith. Congress does not believe in any of those comments (Udhayanidhi's remark)," said Khera.

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin defends son
Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday defended his son, saying he had expressed certain comments about the inhuman principles preached in the Sanatan Dharma.
"Pro-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) forces, unable to tolerate his stance against oppressive principles, have spread a false narrative, alleging Udhayanidhi called for the genocide of people with Sanatan thoughts," Stalin said in a statement and wondered why Prime Minister Narendra Modi would also join those targeting his son.
