PM Modi reacts to Udhayanidhi's ‘Sanatan Dharma’ remark, says it needs “proper response”
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has responded to controversial remarks made by DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin regarding 'Sanatan Dharma' during a Council of Ministers meeting ahead of the G20 summit in Delhi. According to a report published by Theweek.in Modi also urged his ministers to avoid making comments on the ongoing 'India vs Bharat' controversy and to respond properly to Udhayanidhi Stalin's remarks.
During the meeting, Modi emphasized the importance of sticking to the facts as per the Constitution and discussing the contemporary situation rather than delving into history. He directed his ministers to address the issue responsibly.
Udhayanidhi Stalin, who serves as Tamil Nadu's Youth Welfare Minister and is the son of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, had stirred controversy with his comments about Sanatan Dharma. He allegedly likened it to diseases like coronavirus, malaria, and dengue, stating that such practices should be eradicated rather than opposed.
His remarks triggered political outrage, with the BJP accusing the opposition INDIA alliance, of which the DMK is a major partner, of being anti-Hindu. Udhayanidhi later clarified his comments, stating that he did not call for the genocide of people following Sanatan Dharma but condemned the caste differences associated with it.
Further details about the Council of Ministers meeting are awaited.

MP CM Yadav announces credit cards, financial aid for cow keepers
Bhopal, Nov 2: The Madhya Pradesh government will provide credit cards to those rearing cows and their progeny, similar to those available to farmers, to help manage the upkeep of cattle, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced on Saturday.
“Along with the people growing crops, credit cards will also be made available to those rearing cows and their progeny to enable them to manage expenses on their care,” Yadav said during the state-level ‘Govardhan Puja’ ceremony at Ravindra Bhawan here.
He said that people who care for more than 10 cows will be given special financial aid, adding that the state government will invest and make arrangements for rearing 5,000 to 10,000 cows under the limits of municipal Corporations.
He said that people found guilty of slaughtering cows in MP will get seven years of imprisonment.
Earlier, he took part in the Govardhan Puja at his official house.
Later in Gwalior, where he attended two such events, Yadav said the state would protect the cow and its offspring.
Ministers and MLAs across the state also participated in Govardhan Puja.
Before holding this function at the state level, the BJP government in MP had organised ‘Shastra Puja’ (worshipping of weapons) on Dussehra in a similar manner, with the CM, his ministers and MLAs across the state joining in.
