Sep 06, 2023

Karwar (Karnataka) [India], September 6 : BJP leader and advocate Nagaraja Nayak, on Wednesday, filed a police complaint at Karwar police station against Tamil Nadu Minister Udayanidhi Stalin for hurting religious sentiments.
The complaint was filed by Nagaraja Nayak, demanding the police to register a criminal case against Udayanidhi Stalin. 
Karwar BJP Mandal President Nagesh Kuradekar and some other prominent leaders were also present at the occasion.
Earlier on Tuesday, Udayanidhi while talking to the media personnel agreed on not being against the Hindu religion but Sanatan practices like caste discrimination.
On being asked about the demand for an apology from him, Udhayanidhi refused to reply to the demand. 
DMK leader Stalin has come under severe criticism since he mentioned on Saturday that Sanatan Dharma should not merely be opposed but “eradicated”.
However, unfazed by attacks from various leaders, Tamil Nadu Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development Udhayanidhi Stalin on Monday said that he would repeat the same thing again as he has included all religions and not just Hindus.
"The day before yesterday I spoke at a function about it (Sanatana Dharma). Whatever I said, I'll repeat the same thing again and again. I included all the religions and not just Hindus. I condemned caste differences, that's all," Udhayanidhi Stalin said. 
Notably, Udhayanidhi's remark on Sanatan Dharma has sparked massive controversy across the nation. Several BJP leaders and Hindu priests have strongly criticised his statement. The BJP has demanded an apology from MK Stalin's son. Leaders from the saffron party have also blamed the INDIA bloc for Udhayanidhi's remark, claiming such an agenda was discussed during the recent meeting that was held in Mumbai.
