BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said that disrespecting Sanatan for votebank has become a system for DMK and party leader Udhayanidhi Stalin. "Despite losing the elections...there is no learning that [Udhayanidhi] has taken...He is continuing with Sanatan abuse and insult even now," he said. This comes after Udhayanidhi said that Sanatan Dharma should be eradicated in the Tamil Nadu Assembly.
