2G scam fame DMK MP A Raja who is known for his rabid anti-Hindu hate speech, has once again spewed venom on Hindu religion. This time he has called the Hindu religion a menace to India and the world.
A few days ago DMK MP A. Raja likened Sanatana Dharma to HIV AIDS and leprosy even as the dust was yet to settle on DMK Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin likening Sanatana Dharma to Dengue, Malaria, and Corona and calling for its eradication at the “Eradicate Sanatana Conclave” held at Chennai.
“I am oddly surprised that Udhayanidhi Stalin had only spoken about it softly saying (Sanatana Dharma) has to be eradicated like malaria and dengue. Malaria and dengue don’t have social stigma. The society won’t look at them disgustingly. If we have to call it something disgusting, there was leprosy, there is HIV today. For us, just like leprosy and HIV, we’ve to see it (Sanathana Dharma) as a social stigma.“, he said at a protest meeting organized by the rabid anti-Hindu outfit Dravidar Kazhagam against the Centre’s Viswakarma Scheme.
Even when the controversy surrounding A Raja’s comparison of Sanatana Dharma/Hindu religion is yet to subside, he has stoked another controversy by calling the Hindu religion as menace to India and the world.
In a video meeting organized by DMK, A. Raja can be heard saying, “India is the reason for the global disease in the name of caste, dividing people on the caste lines; Dividing people on the economic lines by using caste. Caste cannot be used only for social use. It depends upon the economically also. Those who are living Indians in other countries, also propagating caste in the name of Hindu religion. So, Hindu religion is a biggest menace not only to India. Now it is a menace to the entire world.”
Responding to this hate speech, BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai lashed out the DMK saying the party was solely responsible for creating caste divide and hatred in the state .
“DMK MP A Raja calls Hindu Religion a menace to India & the world. DMK is the principal reason for creating caste divide & hatred in TN, and the DMK MP has the audacity to blame Sanatana Dharma for the mess they made.”, Annamalai said.

Udhayanidhi Stalin’s call for eradication of Sanatana Dharma had set off a political storm with many members of the I.N.D.I Alliance including Mamata Banerjee (TMC), Arvind Kejriwal (AAP), Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena – UBT) distancing themselves from the DMK Minister’s remarks.
However, Udhayanidhi Stalin had recently asserted that he is not bothered about the DMK government falling and will continue to oppose Sanatana Dharma.
The latest remarks of A. Raja has only added fuel to the already raging political furore and is further expected to harm the prospects of the I.N.D.I alliance.
