CHENNAI: DMK MP A Raja continued to stir the pot with his remarks on Sanatana Dharma and Hindu religion.
On Tuesday, he called Hinduism "a menace".
Speaking at a debate on a private channel on Tuesday, Raja said, "Hindu religion is a menace not only for India but for the entire world."After BJP leaders condemned Raja for his comment, TOI sought Raja's response.
The DMK leader messaged: "Just quote of Ambedkar ...
they cut it."In the video clip posted on social media by Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai, the DMK leader, who recently compared Sanatana Dharma to HIV and leprosy, said: "India is the reason for the global disease called caste, dividing people on caste lines, dividing people on economic lines.
Caste cannot be used only for social evil.
It depends on economic evil as well.
Indians living in other countries also propagate caste in the name of Hindu religion.Condemning the speech of Raja, Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai blamed the DMK for the caste divide in the state.
"DMK is the principal reason for creating caste divide and hatred in TN, and the DMK MP has the audacity to blame Sanatana Dharma for the mess they made," said Annamalai.The controversy surrounding Sanatana Dharma doesn't seem to die down after it was triggered by sports minister Udhayanidhi Stalin when he equated it with mosquitoes, dengue, malaria and Covid.Though chief minister M K Stalin tried to control the damage by saying that the comments of Udhayanidhi were distorted, Udhayanidhi by posting the image of mosquito repellent, made it clear that he stood by his comments.Meanwhile, HR-CE minister P K Sekar Babu, during a public function in Chennai on Tuesday, said the BJP was raking up the Sanatana Dharma issue to cover their failures."Annamalai's 'En Mann En Makkal' padayatra is a failure.
To cover it up, they are speaking about Sanatana Dharma.
Equality is the bedrock of DMK government and every DMK minister has the right to speak about Sanatana Dharma.
In fact, equality and Sanatana Dharma are two sides of the same coin," said Sekar Babu.
