"Those Holding Constitutional Positions...": Law Minister Over Sanatana Dharma Row
NDTV
On September 2, while likening Sanatana Dharma to the coronavirus, malaria, and dengue, Udhayanidhi Stalin said that such things should not be opposed but destroyed.
Amid the political debate over Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin's son Udhayanidhi Stalin's controversial 'Sanatana Dharma' comment, Union Minister of Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal on Sunday said that disrespecting a religion is like disrespecting the Constitution. He cautioned the leaders, saying that the person holding a constitutional position should respect all religions.
"We want to ask him if they (Opposition) agree with the statements made by KC Venugopal, Karti Chidambaram, and Priyank Kharge?... Those holding constitutional positions should respect all religions. Why disrespect 'Sanatana Dharma'? This means they are also against the Constitution," Mr Meghwal, a BJP leader, said.
DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin recently caused a storm as he alleged that Sanatana Dharma is against social justice and that it should be eradicated.
