What Did Andhra Pradesh Dy CM Pawan Kalyan Say On Sanatan Dharma?
A day before the Supreme Court is expected to hear the case on the allegation of using animal fat in making Tirupati laddu, Kalyan said he wanted to communicate ꦺto the judiciary that Jagan was facing several charges including corruption allegations and it has t📖o consider before giving a decision (in laddu adulteration case).
"Laddu prasadam adulteration is a tip of the iceberg. We don’t know how many crores of rupees they collected dur൩ing the tenure of (the last) five years. That has to be investigated," the Deputy CM said.
"Eminent people of this nation, let me tell you what exactly the previous government and the leader was. The p🔯revious chief minister is trying to act innocent," he added.
On CM Chandrababu Naidu's allegation that laddu was made using adulte♐rated ghee, the Deputy CM said the TDP chief was sharing with MLAS and MPs what exactly had happened, citing a "fact".
He described tꦜhe laddu adulteration issue as an attack on "Sanatana Dharma"꧙ for the past five years.
Referring to the recent comments made by Tamil Nadu Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin, Kalyan in Tamil said, "Don't say that Sanatana Dharma is like a🐠 virus, and it will destroy."
"Whoever said this let me tell you sir. You can not w🐬ipe out Sanatana Dharma. If anyone tries to wipe out Santana Dharma let me tell you from the feet of Lord Balaji you will be wiped out."
Kalyan al♎so stressed the need to bring in legislation at the national level to protect Sanatana Dharma 🎶and establish Sanatana Dharma protection boards with adequate funds at national and state levels.
"I am an unapologetic Sanatani Hindu. Let me be very clear,ꦚ"𓆉 he said, and vowed to safeguard it with his life.
The Deputy CM furt🌸her said Sanatana Dharma is going to stay here.
"People like you might come and go,ဣ🍎 but Sanatana Dharma goes on forever. It would not stop. It is beyond," he said.
Udhayanidhi Stalin's Earlier Controversial Remark
In September last year, Udhayanidhi, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, triggered a political outrage by remarking that 'Sanatana Dharma' should be eradicated. Equating it to mosquitos, dengue, malaria, fever, and co🐷rona, he said it should be stamped out like those ailments.
Udhayanidhi later clarified that he never called for genocide of people who were followin𒅌g 'Sanatana Dharma' and said this Dharma divided people in the name of caste and religion.
