00:00In a shocking development, newly elected TVK MLA VMS Mustafa's remarks on eradicating Sanatana Dharma
00:08have plunged the Tamil Aga Vetri Kazakam into a major controversy,
00:13sparking widespread outrage across Tamil Nadu.
00:17Mustafa, also the founding president of Tamil Nadu Muslim League,
00:20made the statement that has been widely condemned as hate speech against Hindu Dharma.
00:25This comes amid ongoing debates on Sanatana Dharma in Tamil Nadu politics.
00:30BJP leaders have strongly criticized the comments.
00:33CRK7 criticizes TVK MLA Mr. Mustafa and other TVK leaders for making malicious and objectionable comments against Hindu Dharma,
00:42which have insulted devotees and sparked widespread outrage.
00:45Instead of apologizing, Mr. Mustafa offered a dubious clarification
00:49and another TVK minister made skewed remarks revealing a politics of hate and prejudice.
00:56The TVK MLA, Mr. Mustafa's malicious comments are not just objectionable,
01:04they are indefensible and unpardonable.
01:08Instead of apologizing to the crores of devotees of Hindu Dharma who have been insulted by the statement of the
01:20TVK MLA,
01:21he chose to give a very dubious clarification.
01:25This was followed by another minister belonging to the TVK who also made some skewed remarks.
01:35These go on to show and they unmask the TVK leaders' poisonous politics of bitter hate and prejudice.
01:45Meanwhile, Vinoj P. Selpham has said newly elected MLA Mr. Mustafa echoed Stalin's views indicating a propagation of the DMK's
01:55agenda.
01:55The TVK's MLA is acting like the propaganda secretary of the DMK.
02:01The DMK has been saying and talking about Sanatana Dharma ever since 2022.
02:05And now the TVK MLA also going out and saying we are also in the freight abolish Sanatana Dharma, the
02:11Hindu Dharma.
02:11Just goes to say that these people are feeling empowered due to the DMK's previous regime
02:17and being able to talk about it and going unanswered.
02:20So they feel that it's their birthright to talk about abolishment of Hindu Dharma.
02:24These people forget that before they were born, before their organizations were born,
02:29Sanatana Dharma has been in existence and it will be in existence even after their death and after their party's
02:33demise.
02:34The public reaction has been swift and furious, especially on X.
02:37Users have called it outright hate speech, questioned Hindu supporters of TVK
02:42and highlighted the irony of Mustafa contesting from a Hindu majority constituency in Madurai.
02:49As the controversy intensifies, all eyes are on TVK leader Vijay
02:54and how the party responds.
02:55Will it distance itself from such remarks or allow the perception of anti-Hindu politics to grow?
