Prior to this, a number of leaders of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc had made disparaging remarks towards Sanatan Dharma and threw their weight behind Udhayanidhi Stalin over his vow to eradicate Sanatan Dharma’, a religion which has over 100 crore believers the world over. 

Taking a cue from Udhayanidhi Stalin, who in contrast Sanatan Dharma to illnesses like Malaria and Corona and known as for its eradication, DMK Minister A Raja claimed that his colleague’s remarks on Sanatan Dharma have been smooth. A Raja, who was accused within the 2G rip-off, argued that Sanatan Dharma ought to have been in contrast with stigmatising illnesses corresponding to HIV or leprosy.

During the present spherical of smear campaigns and assaults towards Sanatan Dharma, a number of senior functionaries of Tamil Nadu Congress and its social gathering leaders like Karti Chidambaram, son of Former Home Minister P Chidambaram and Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge who’s the son of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge too added gasoline to the fireplace.

Conspicuously, leaders from Congress, DMK, VCK, RJD, CPI(M), and Samajwadi Party amongst others have made controversial and hateful remarks towards Sanatan Dharma, giving an impression that all of them are on the identical web page so far as their opinions on Hinduism are involved.

Generally, following any controversy, the primary line of defence for any political social gathering or alliance is to distance itself from hate speech or inflammatory remarks and brush it as a casual private comment of the controversial chief. However, issues are getting murkier within the brazen Sanatan Eradication name by the leaders of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc. 

The repeated assaults towards Sanatan Dharma seemingly point out that it might be a deliberate political ploy of the I.N.D.I.A. alliance events to domesticate a minority vote financial institution by lashing out at Hinduism. But extra worryingly, it factors to the rampant dehumanisation and desensitisation of Hindus underway by the I.N.D.I. bloc leaders.
