New Delhi: On Monday, Communist Party of India (CPI) leader D Raja stirred the hornet’s nest by refusing to acknowledge Sanatan Dharma as a religious philosophy and blaming it for propagating inequality and patriarchy.
While speaking to media CPI General Secretary claimed, “First we should understand Sanatan is not Dharma..Dharma is something else..Yes, he (Udayanidhi Stalin) said something. We are all opposed to Sanatan.”
“Sanatan perpetuates the caste system, Sanatan perpetuates patriarchy, Sanatan perpetuates inequality… Let them say no,” he brazened it out.
This development follows the controversy ignited by DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, who likened the Hindu civilizational religious philosophy to diseases like ‘malaria’ and ‘dengue,’ advocating for its eradication.
On Saturday (September 2), Udayanidhi Stalin, the Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development of Tamil Nadu said, “there are some things that we have to eradicate and we can’t merely oppose. Mosquitoes, dengue, corona, and malaria are things that we cannot oppose, we have to eradicate them. Sanatanam is also like this. Eradication and not opposing Sanatanam has to be our first task.”
