Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, who called for the eradication of Sanatana Dharma, doubled down on Tuesday with examples.

Asked if he could give a current example of social discrimination, Stalin claimed, “President Murmu not being invited for the inauguration of the new parliament is the best example of current Sanatana discrimination”.

Earlier on Tuesday, Stalin referred to Mahabharat and claimed ‘discrimination’.

“Teachers are incomparable people who always think only about the future generations. The bond between our Dravidian movement and teachers who preach virtue without asking for thumbs! It will continue forever. Happy Teacher’s Day,” he said in a post on X on Teachers’ Day.

The mention of teachers asking for ‘thumbs’ is a reference to the great Guru, Dronacharya, the teacher of Pandavas and Kauravas, who asked Ekalavya for his right thumb as Dakshina, as he learned from the sage secretly.

The DMK leader also repeated that he was ready to face any legal action for his comments.

Meanwhile, Subramanaian Swamy on X said that he has written to the Tamil Nadu Governor seeking his sanction to initiate action against Udhay.

On Saturday, Stalin said that “Sanatana Dharma is like malaria and dengue, and so it must be eradicated and not merely opposed”.
