In a resolute response to the ongoing Sanatana Dharma controversy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has issued his first statement, emphasizing the necessity for a “thoughtful and measured reply.” The statement follows Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin’s recent remarks, which Modi believes warrant serious consideration.
Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of Chief Minister MK Stalin, ignited the controversy by highlighting what he perceives as discrimination within the practice of Sanatana Dharma. He pointed to the Central government’s omission of an invitation to President Droupadi Murmu for the new parliament’s inauguration as an example. Stalin went as far as likening Sanatana Dharma to a malady in need of eradication, refusing to apologize for his audacious comment.
Stalin remains steadfast in his stance, asserting his readiness to face legal repercussions for his outspoken views. Reports indicate efforts to secure the Tamil Nadu Governor’s authorization for potential action against him are underway.
This episode underscores the deepening divide and escalating tensions surrounding the Sanatana Dharma discourse, as it grapples with profound societal and political implications.
Narendra Modi’s comments on this matter are poised to have far-reaching consequences, as they resonate not only within the boundaries of Tamil Nadu but also reverberate throughout the nation. This saga continues to evolve, with many eagerly awaiting the forthcoming developments.
