Stalin and Kalyan Clash Over Sanatana Dharma

A political row has erupted between Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan over the issue of 'Sanatana Dharma'. Udhayanidhi's past remarks equating Sanatana Dharma to diseases like malaria and dengue have led to widespread controversy, with Kalyan warning that those attempting to eradicate it will face consequences. Kalyan has called for a national law to protect Sanatana Dharma and proposed establishing a Sanatana Dharma Protection Board. Despite the backlash, Udhayanidhi responded cryptically with, 'Let's wait and see.' The dispute highlights ongoing tensions around religious and cultural issues in India, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) taking opposing stances. The debate continues to attract significant national attention, with legal actions and political statements intensifying the discourse.
