"Test For Rahul Gandhi": Himanta Sarma On DMK Leader's "Sanatana" Remark

DMK's Udhayanidhi Stalin had alleged that Sanatana Dharma is against equality and social justice, and had likened it to coronavirus and malaria.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that if the Congress does not distance itself from DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin's controversial remarks on Sanatana Dharma, it will 'confirm' public's perception that the party is 'anti-Hindu'.

He also questioned the grand old party's stance on its leader Karti Chidambaram defending the DMK leader's statements.

"I do not want to condemn the statement by the Tamil Nadu minister because he has exposed himself," Mr Sarma said, claiming that remarks on similar lines were also made by Karti Chidambaram and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
