Udhayanidhi, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, alleged that 'Sanatan Dharma' is against equality and social justice, and that it should be eradicated. He also likened 'Sanatan Dharma' to coronavirus, malaria, and dengue fever and said such things should not be opposed but destroyed.
On Monday, Udhayanidhi doubled down on his 'Sanatan Dharma' remarks saying that he would repeat it again and again. "Day before yesterday I spoke at a function about it ('sanatana dharma'). Whatever I said... I will repeat the same thing again and again. I included all the religions and not just Hinduism... I spoke condemning the caste differences, that is all," Udhayanidhi said.
