INDIA bloc constituents want to destroy Sanatan Hindu dharma: Goa CM

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Monday alleged that members of the opposition INDIA alliance want to erase the Sanatan Hindu religion which withstood such attempts made in the past by Mughal rulers, the British and the Portuguese.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader’s remarks came amid a political row after Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, who belongs to DMK, blamed Sanatan Dharma for promoting division and discrimination among people and called for its eradication.

Also, DMK leader A Raja had likened Sanatan Dharma to diseases like leprosy and HIV which had social stigma.
