New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI) The BJP on Thursday described DMK leader A Raja’s remarks against Sanatan Dharma as “outrageous and vitriolic” and slammed the opposition parties, saying Raja’s comments reflect the INDIA bloc’s “mental bankruptcy” and “deep-rooted Hinduphobia”.
“Changing name does not conceal one’s intent and character,” Union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dharmendra Pradhan wrote on X.
His reaction came after Raja reportedly said Sanatan Dharma should be compared to diseases, such as AIDS and leprosy, that have a social stigma attached to them.
Reacting sharply to the Tamil Nadu minister’s remarks, Pradhan said, “Outrageous and vitriolic comments about Sanatan Dharma, this time by DMK minister A Raja, reflect the mental bankruptcy and deep-rooted Hinduphobia that engulfs the I.N.D.I.A bloc.” He said the country is watching how the Congress and its “friends are consciously maligning the soul, spirit and roots of Bharat”. Let these “hate-mongers be reminded that Sanatan is eternal, Sanatan is truth”, Pradhan added. PTI PK RC
