On Monday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh slammed the opposition over DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin’s derogatory remarks on Sanatan Dharma. He asked why prominent Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Ashok Gehlot are “silent” on the issue.
While addressing a public meeting in Jaisalmer on the launch of BJP’s third round of the Parivartan Yatra in Rajasthan, the Defence Minister also took a dig at Rahul Gandhi, saying Chandrayaan successfully landed on the south pole of the Moon but “Rahulyaan” could neither be launched nor landed.
The Defence Minister said, “The I.N.D.I.A bloc members should apologise for the insult to Sanatan Dharma, or the country won’t forgive them.”
Rajanath Singh said that the DMK leader should be asked for an explanation over his comments, and added, “Sanatan Dharma considers the world as a family and gives the message of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family)”.
Recently, Tamil Nadu Youth Welfare Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin claimed 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.
