00:00 A political controversy started when Tamil Nadu Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs
00:05 and son of Chief Minister M.K.Stalin, Udaynidhi Stalin stated that Sanatana Dharma is like
00:10 mosquito, dengue and malaria and it has to be eradicated. He was speaking at a Sanatana
00:17 Abolition Conclave organized by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers Forum.
00:21 After the statement by Udaynidhi, on one hand, Ayodhya's Tapasvi Chavani Temple head priest,
00:27 Mahant Paramhans Das announced a Rs 10 crore bonetee for the beheading of Udaynidhi Stalin
00:33 over his un-Sanatana Dharma comment and on the other hand, a Hindu outfit in Andhra Pradesh
00:39 Vijayawada put out a poster offering Rs 10 lakh cash reward for slapping DMK leader Udaynidhi
00:46 Stalin over his Sanatana Dharma remark.
00:53 The Jan Jagran Samiti, a non-profit organization has announced Rs 10 lakh cash reward for anyone
01:00 who slaps DMK leader and Tamil Nadu Minister Udaynidhi Stalin for his controversial remark
01:05 against Sanatana Dharma. Let me show you the video where people can be seen putting out posters
01:11 for a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for those who slap Udaynidhi Stalin.

01:26 The organization has put up poster in Andhra Pradesh Vijayawada regarding the same. The
01:32 comment resulted in the significant backlash with the Bharatiya Janda Party accusing Udaynidhi
01:37 Stalin on his remark. Union Minister Smriti Irani on Wednesday took a wild jibe at Udaynidhi
01:43 Stalin over his remark on Sanatana Dharma that has triggered a massive political slugfest in the
01:49 country. Those who challenge Sanatana Dharma, the voice should reach them that till the bugs are
01:55 alive no one can challenge their religion. PTI quoted the minister's telling devotees at the
02:00 Shri Krishna Janmashtami celebration event organized by Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan in Delhi.
02:06 According to a report by Hindustan Times, Irani's statement comes in the wake of Prime
02:11 Minister Narendra Modi asking his cabinet colleagues to fight falsehoods and attack
02:16 on issue of faith. The ministers have been told to assertively face falsehood and attack against
02:22 the issue of faith and to put things in right context and also rely on the provisions of the
02:28 constitution that do not allow the denigration of any religion. Furthermore, a tweet was shared on
02:34 the official account of the BJP state president of Tamil Nadu K. Annamalai where a memorandum was
02:40 shared by the senior BJP leaders of Tamil Nadu to the Honorable Governor of the state.
02:44 I am quoting the tweet of Annamalai, "We sought the intervention of our Honorable Governor in
02:49 filing case in the line with the Honorable Supreme Court's guideline in Tamil Nadu against
02:54 Thiru Uday Reddy Stalin for his hate speech at the Sanatana Eradication Conference. For the dismissal
03:00 of Minister Thiru P.K. Shekhar Babu for being a part of the Sanatana Eradication Conference,
03:06 which is a violation of his oath to office. Notably, Stalin has not still apologized for
03:12 his speech on the Sanatana Dharma, which has led to multiple FIRs against him and calls for strict
03:18 action against him from various groups. Despite facing criticism for his eradicate
03:24 Sanatana Dharma statement, Tamil Nadu Minister Uday Nidhi Stalin remains firm on his remark.
03:30 On flag and legal challenges from the BJP, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's son
03:35 said that this is their mode of survival and they don't know how else to survive.
03:41 Uday Nidhi Stalin stated and I am quoting, "I would face the cases filed against me legally.
03:46 Modi and company are using the Sanatana ploy to divert attention from the facts including the
03:52 killing of more than 250 people in the riots incited in Manipur and the 7.5 lakh crore corruption."
