'Sanatana Dharma Is Like Malaria, Dengue That Must Be Eradicated Not Merely Opposed', Says DMK Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin

Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of Chief Minister MK Stalin and a minister in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government, today (2 September) said that Sanatana Dharma is like malaria and dengue and so it must be eradicated and not merely opposed.

He was speaking at a conference to eradicate Sanatana Dharma.

In a video clip of his speech being shared on X (formerly Twitter), he can be heard saying, " I thank the organisers for giving me the opportunity to speak at this conference to eradicate Sanatana Dharma.

"I congratulate the organisers for calling the conference as 'eradicate Sanatana Dharma' instead of 'opposing Sanatana Dharma.'

"There are some things which we have to eradicate and we can't merely oppose. Mosquitoes, dengue fever, malaria, corona, all these are things which we cannot oppose, we have to eradicate them. Sanatanam is also like this.

"Eradicating and not opposing Sanatanam should be our first task.

"What is Sanatanam? The name Sanatanam has come from Sanskrit. Sanatanam is against equality and social justice. The meaning of Sanatanam is nothing but 'permanence', something which cannot be changed. Nobody can question. This is the meaning of Sanatanam."
