Speaking at a conference in Chennai organized by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers Artists Association on the theme of “Eradicating Sanatana” on Saturday, Udhaya nidhi Stalin, the son of chief minister MK Stalin, argued that Sanatana was against social justice and that it had to be eliminated. His controversial c have made it to the National Headlines.
“I thank the organisers of this conference for giving me the opportunity to deliver a special address. You have kept the name of the conference as ‘Sanatana Abolition Conference’ rather than ‘Anti-Sanatana Conference’, I appreciate that,” media quoted Udhayanidhi as saying
“A few things cannot be opposed, that should be abolished only. We can’t oppose dengue, mosquitoes, malaria, or corona. We have to eradicate this, that’s how we have to eradicate Sanatana. Rather opposing Sanatana it should be eradicated,” Udhayanidhi was quoted as saying. “The name Sanatana is from Sanskrit. It is against Social Justice and equality,” he added.
Later on, responding to a post by Amit Malviya, the IT cell head of the Bharatiya Janata Party on X (formally Twitter), Udhayanidhi pointed out that he never advocated for the genocide of individuals who adhere to Sanatan Dharma.
“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.
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 people’s court. Stop spreading fake news”
