TVK MLA VMS Mustafa endorses remarks by DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin calling for Sanatan to be abolished, triggering a political controversy in Tamil Nadu. Mustafa says his party also subscribes to the ideals of Periyar and Ambedkar and frames its stance as aiming to eradicate what he refers to as Sanatana. The comments come after Udhayanidhi Stalin reignites the debate in the Assembly, where he doubles down on his earlier position regarding “sanatana dharma,” and states that it “must be eradicated.” BJP leaders react critically to the remarks, arguing against the call and challenging the stance taken by leaders in the Tamil Nadu political landscape. The dispute centers on whether calls to “abolish” or “eradicate” Sanatan are acceptable within public and legislative discourse, with parties trading accusations and counter-arguments. Overall, the reports describe an escalation from a renewed legislative debate to broader party-level endorsements and political pushback.
