Udhayanidhi Stalin: 'Modi to divert attention...': Udhayanidhi Stalin clarifies his statement on Sanatan Dharma, taunts BJP

Controversy is continuously increasing over the alleged controversial statement given by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's son Udhayanidhi Stalin regarding Sanatan Dharma. Many people including BJP leaders are registering their protest. Meanwhile, Udhayanidhi has clarified. He on Thursday accused the saffron party leaders of distorting his statements and vowed to face all cases in this regard legally.

He also made a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Said that he is roaming around the world afraid of facing questions about Manipur violence. He said that all your (BJP) promises for the last nine years are hollow. The Tamil Nadu minister said that at present the entire country is united against the BJP government and is raising the question, what has it done for our welfare?

Udhayanidhi said that Modi and Company are using Sanatan tricks to divert attention. BJP leaders termed my speech at the TNPWAA conference as 'inciting genocide'. They consider it a weapon for their protection.

The minister said that it was surprising that Union Minister Amit Shah and Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states were demanding action against me based on fake news. He said that he knew that I should file criminal cases against him for spreading false rumors against me. But I also know that this is their way of staying in power. They don't know in what other way it can be saved. So I decided not to do it.

Udhayanidhi Stalin, one of the political heirs of late Tamil Nadu veteran leader and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party founder Kanjeevaram Natarajan Annadurai, said everyone knows that we are not enemies of any religion.

He said I would like to quote Annadurai's comments on religions which are relevant even today. If any religion leads people towards equality and teaches them brotherhood, then I am also a spiritualist. He said that if any religion divides people in the name of castes, if it teaches them untouchability and slavery then I will be the first person to oppose the religion. He said that DMK respects all those religions which teach that all people are similar.

Udhayanidhi Stalin said that without the slightest understanding about any of this, Thiru Modi & Co. are completely dependent on such slander to face the parliamentary elections. On one hand, I can only feel sorry for them. He said that Modi is not doing anything for the last 9 years. Sometimes they do demonetization and sometimes they try to hide the huts. For this, he builds a wall overnight. Not only this, he built a new parliamentary building and erected a sengol (scepter) there. He further taunted and said that they stand at the border and wave the white flag.
