A video of TN Congress President K S Alagiri saying that Sanatana Dharma has to be destroyed in an interview, went viral on Twitter a few days ago. Many said that the leader has spelled out the most important agenda of the Congress party. It was then clarified that the leader only quoted Thirumavalavan and did not exactly mention the agenda of Congress. Senior BJP leader H Raja also had tweeted that, Congress, which accepts Thirumavalavan’s statement about destroying Sanatana Dharma, has to be boycotted.
While there were explanations that the statement was not made by K S Alagiri himself and that he merely quoted Thirumavalavan, the leader’s true intention about the issue has now been revealed. Alagiri had tweeted in Tamil today, “Sanatana Dharma justifies the inequalities in society. It is an interjection to Hinduism. No civilised society has accepted this. This is Congress’ policy. I’m glad that Raja is helping this opinion reach everybody.” The tweet is has now been deleted by the leader.
