Inauguration Controversy Prompts PM Modi’s Response
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding Udhayanidhi Stalin’s “Sanatan Dharma” remark, which has sparked a heated debate within Indian political circles. Speaking on the matter, PM Modi emphasized the need for a “proper response” to the Tamil Nadu minister’s comments.
This development follows Udhayanidhi Stalin’s public criticism of the absence of the President of India, Draupadi Murmu, from the inauguration of the new Parliament building. He pointed to this as an instance of discrimination within the practitioners of Sanatan Dharma.
FIR Registered Against Udhayanidhi Stalin and Priyank Kharge
Adding a new twist to the saga, an FIR has been registered against Udhayanidhi Stalin and Priyank Kharge, the son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. They are accused of allegedly outraging religious feelings.
Both Udhayanidhi Stalin and Priyank Kharge have been booked under sections 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts to outrage religious feelings) and 153 A (promoting enmity between different religious groups) of the Indian Penal Code. This legal action signifies the escalating tension surrounding the Sanatan Dharma controversy.
As the debate continues to evolve, political observers are keenly watching how this situation unfolds and whether it will impact the political landscape in Tamil Nadu and beyond.
