Chennai : Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s son, Udhayanidhi Stalin, made remarks at the Sanatana Abolition Conference on 2nd September, comparing the Sanatan Dharma to diseases like Dengue, Malaria, and COVID. He said, “Sanatan Dharma opposes social justice and equality. Few things cannot be opposed, that should be eradicated only. We can’t oppose Dengue, Mosquitoes, Malaria or Corona. We have to eradicate these. Similarly, we have to eradicate Sanatana.”
Several other leaders, including the Deputy Chief Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports in the State, were also present at this event. State Minister for Human Resources Development PK Sekarbabu was also a participant.

Sanatan Dharma has been in existence for ages and will continue to exist. Udhayanidhi’s understanding of Sanatan Dharma is flawed, and what he is saying is incorrect.
Did this decision come in the ‘India Alliance’ meeting ? – BJP
BJP leader Amit Malviya tweeted, “Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Tamilnadu CM MK Stalin, and a minister in the DMK Govt, has linked Sanatana Dharma to malaria and dengue… He is of the opinion that it must be eradicated and not merely opposed. In short, he is calling for genocide of 80% population of Bharat, who follow Sanatan Dharma.
