‘The possibility to disagree and engage in debate is the hallmark of a proper democracy. History has taught us that asking the right questions leads to answers that help us grow into a better society.

Udayanidhi Stalin’s speech on Sanatana Dharma at a program organized by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers’ Forum on September 2 became controversial. Udayanidhi Stalin’s speech was that some things cannot be opposed and they should be eradicated, it is Sanatana Dharma and the same should be eradicated. The minister also pointed out that Sanatana Dharma is against social justice and equality. BJP and other Sangh Parivar parties are protesting widely against this. The UP Police had registered a case against Udayanidhi in the reference.
