Nagaraja Nayak, a BJP politician and lawyer, reported Tamil Nadu Minister Udayanidhi Stalin to the police on Wednesday for allegedly injuring religious feelings. Nagaraja Nayak lodged the report and asked the police to file a criminal complaint against Udayanidhi Stalin.
Nagesh Kuradekar, the president of the Karwar BJP Mandal, and a few other notable figures attended the event. Tuesday morning, Udayanidhi acknowledged that he was not opposed to Hinduism, but rather to Sanatan customs, such as caste inequality. When questioned about the request for an apology from him, Udhayanidhi declined to respond.
DMK leader Stalin has come under severe criticism since he mentioned on Saturday that Sanatan Dharma should not merely be opposed but “eradicated”.
However, unfazed by attacks from various leaders, Tamil Nadu Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development Udhayanidhi Stalin on Monday said that he would repeat the same thing again as he has included all religions and not just Hindus.
“The day before yesterday I spoke at a function about it (Sanatana Dharma). Whatever I said, I’ll repeat the same thing again and again. I included all the religions and not just Hindus. I condemned caste differences, that’s all,” Udhayanidhi Stalin said.
Notably, Udhayanidhi’s remark on Sanatan Dharma has sparked massive controversy across the nation. Several BJP leaders and Hindu priests have strongly criticised his statement. The BJP has demanded an apology from MK Stalin’s son. Leaders from the saffron party have also blamed the INDIA bloc for Udhayanidhi’s remark, claiming such an agenda was discussed during the recent meeting that was held in Mumbai.
