The controversy sparked by Udhayanidhi Stalin's comments about Sanatan Dharma appears to be ongoing, with the BJP Tamil Nadu chief, K Annamalai, launching a scathing attack on the DMK. Annamalai released a video in which he likened the DMK to diseases like dengue, malaria, and mosquitoes, suggesting that they need to be eliminated.
Announcing his statement on social media, Annamalai stated that DMK could stand for ""Dengue, Malaria, Kosu"" (mosquito), and he believes that these diseases should be associated with the DMK. He further criticized the DMK for its controversial remarks against Sanatan Dharma.
Adding fuel to the fire, another DMK minister, A Raja, made contentious comments by comparing Sanatana Dharma to diseases with social stigmas, such as HIV and leprosy.
Finally, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Udhayanidhi's father, addressed the issue by stating that Udhayanidhi expressed his views on Sanatan principles that discriminate against Scheduled Castes, Tribals, and Women, without any intention to offend any religion or religious beliefs. He accused pro-BJP groups of spreading false narratives and alleging that Udhayanidhi advocated for the genocide of people with Sanatan thoughts.

00:00 Honorable Chief Minister Thiru M.K. Stalin Sir, Vanakkam.
00:04 We all happen to read your statement that is put out in the social media handle and
00:09 also your son's statement that is put out in the social media handle.
00:14 It is good that both of you are toning down and both of you know that you are fighting
00:18 a losing battle over the last three, four days.
00:23 And today, not only have you defended something but also you have spoken some lies against
00:30 our Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji.
00:33 I believe it is my bounden duty as a BJP Karyakarta to respond to that.
00:39 I am sure with the way our Honorable Prime Minister is working with integrity and with
00:43 his hard work, even as we speak now, he is in Indonesia promoting our national interest
00:50 and immediately September 9 and 10, the G20 meeting that is going to happen where India
00:54 will be at the center stage of global map.
00:57 So please don't bother our Prime Minister to respond to your unfounded, false and diabolical
01:03 allegations.
01:04 Sir, at the outset, you mentioned Sanatana Dharma which essentially itself practices
01:11 discrimination.
01:12 That is why your movement is founded.
01:15 Sir, I would like to take back you to two eminent leaders who were born out of your
01:22 movements.
01:23 One is the great leader from the Schedule K's community, Mr. M.C.
01:28 Raja.
01:29 Do you know, sir, why did he quit Justice Party in 1923?
01:33 A great Dalit leader, M.C.
01:35 Raja, he quit Justice Party in 1923 because he said, the very founding principle of Justice
01:42 Party is not in tune with what they practice.
01:46 Justice Party, when they came into existence, they said they want to abolish the Brahminical
01:52 domination in Tamil Nadu.
01:54 That was their allegation from the Justice Party.
01:56 M.C.
01:57 Raja said, the so-called Brahminical domination is replaced by the upper caste Hindu domination.
02:04 There is no space for an SC leader inside the Justice Party.
02:07 That is why painfully he quit in 1923.
02:11 I am sure, sir, you will not have missed out Madam Sathyavani Muthu.
02:16 She was the first Dalit woman minister from Tamil Nadu.
02:19 1974, right inside the Tamil Nadu Assembly, as a member of your father's cabinet, she
02:27 levelled serious allegations against Mr. Karnanidhi inside the Assembly stating that Mr. Karnanidhi
02:35 is against the interest of Dalit community and SC community.
02:39 The funds are not being given.
02:41 So she has got certain misgivings and inside the Assembly, in the Indian history, we never
02:46 seen a minister complaining against her own chief minister.
02:50 What is the price Madam Sathyavani Muthu got?
02:53 She was dismissed from the ministry and later she was removed from the party also.
02:57 These are some of the instances where I can give you in the early part of your movement,
03:01 how Dalit leaders were treated right inside your party.
03:04 When you say that you are here to abolish certain ills of Sanatana Dharma and to promote
03:11 equality, it is like Satan talking about Vedas to the God.
03:16 So please don't get into that territory, sir.
03:18 That is my humble submission to you.
03:20 Also, sir, you mentioned that DMK as a party is very progressive.
03:26 Anyone who is looking at your current cabinet now, out of 35 ministers, 3 ministers are
03:32 from the SC community.
03:34 2 women ministers.
03:35 Do you call this as progressive?
03:36 Less than 10%?
03:37 And all the brothers and sisters who have come from the SC community, you have given
03:41 some minor portfolios to them, insignificant portfolios.
03:46 Look at our Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji's current cabinet.
03:49 I am just doing a basic comparison.
03:51 Out of the 79 ministers, 20 ministers are from the SC/ST community.
03:57 11 ministers are women.
03:59 5 ministers are from the minority community.
04:02 I am sure, sir, you clearly understand that you really don't practice what you preach.
04:07 Even if I take Uttar Pradesh, out of 52 ministers, 9 ministers are from the SC/ST community.
04:14 So you don't give them political rights.
04:16 You don't give them political powers.
04:18 Then what are you talking about improving the standards of the oppressed community?
04:22 Again, I would like to bring certain things for your recall, sir.
04:27 In Tirunelveli, when the Manjula tea workers protested, when they were brutally killed
04:34 because of the boldness action when they jumped into the Tamarabarani river, close to 17 people
04:39 got killed, including a month old child.
04:41 When the action was sought against the police officer, what did your father Kalengar Karunanidhi
04:46 say?
04:47 He said, "No, if I take action against some police officers, their community will feel
04:52 offended.
04:53 So I am not going to take action."
04:55 So DMK as a party is run on caste lines.
04:59 DMK as a party is meant to promote caste in Tamil Nadu.
05:03 That is why more than any other part of India, Tamil Nadu sees the highest number of caste
05:09 violence.
05:10 Tamil Nadu sees the highest number of caste conflict.
05:13 Tamil Nadu has got the highest number of caste fault lines, including the latest research
05:18 says the prevalence of two Tamil Nadu system is one of the highest in Tamil Nadu.
05:23 That is why we had a shameful spectacle last year, when during the Independence Day, under
05:28 your regime, many panchayat leaders belonging to SC community were not allowed to host their
05:34 flag and we raised a big agitation and demonstration for that.
05:38 So what are you talking, sir?
05:40 Sanatana Dharma by its very nature is timeless.
05:43 It doesn't have an origin, doesn't have an end.
05:46 Sanatana Dharma predates any religion.
05:49 Sanatana Dharma as a Dharma, it believes a human being is a God.
05:54 It also not only human beings, it looks at all the living beings.
05:58 By its very nature, it treats everybody equally.
06:00 Of course, there are humans inside every religion.
06:03 Some of the discriminative practices are brought out by humans.
06:06 When one human brings out a discriminative practice within a Sanatana Dharma, the other
06:11 human beings, great saints and reformers, they come within the Sanatana Dharma, they
06:17 give a voice against the discrimination and try and abolish it.
06:21 That is why we have Swami Sakajananda.
06:23 That is why we have Dayanand Saraswati.
06:25 That is why we have some of the greatest reformers within the Tamil Hindu society, who were the
06:30 crusaders to remove some of the ill effects brought inside the Sanatana Dharma by human
06:35 beings.
06:36 For that, your son wants to eradicate Sanatana Dharma itself.
06:41 It clearly shows what little understanding you have about Sanatana Dharma and your son's
06:46 understanding about Sanatana Dharma.
06:48 This is the land of Alvars and Nayanmars.
06:50 Not about Alvars and Nayanmars per se.
06:52 Out of the 63 Nayanmars, 17 Nayanmars are Brahmins.
06:56 What about the rest of the community?
06:59 Many Nayanmars come from the oppressed community.
07:01 We worship them as saints.
07:02 This is the spiritual land.
07:04 Out of Alvars, 3 Alvars are Brahmins.
07:06 Where are the rest of the Alvars come from?
07:08 They come from oppressed community.
07:10 So what are you talking about?
07:11 This is a God where a person who is belonging to the oppressed community is treated as a
07:16 God.
07:17 We worship them.
07:18 And any small issues that is happening within the Sanatana Dharma that is purely the creation
07:23 of some human beings, other great saints and reformers, they come and abolish it within
07:28 the Sanatana Dharma itself.
07:29 Please don't practice what you preach.
07:33 Your son, he calls himself a practicing Christian in December 2022.
07:37 Now he says he doesn't have any faith over it.
07:40 In the Sanatana Abolition Conference, your HRNC minister sits in the dais where your
07:45 ideologue, Dravidakalakam's current president K. Veeramani says, Sanatana Dharma means Hinduism.
07:53 Your ideologue says, can you give a condemnation statement against Mr. K. Veeramani stating
07:58 Sanatana Dharma is not Hinduism, which is what you are telling.
08:01 We are in the stage when he is saying Sanatana Dharma is Hinduism and your son in the same
08:05 stage wants to abolish Sanatana Dharma, which is Hinduism.
08:09 What was your HRNC minister sitting in the stage who has violated every single oath
08:14 he has taken to become a minister?
08:16 Now, Mr. Chief Minister, please understand, your lies will not keep working.
08:21 You live in the age-old premise that a thousand lies, which is getting repeated 10,000 times,
08:27 will become thousand truths.
08:29 Here it is not going to happen.
08:30 The people of Tamil Nadu have seen you, has seen the historic corruption that you have
08:35 brought into the administration, has seen your family dominating the Tamil Nadu administration,
08:41 your son and son-in-law swindling money.
08:44 We have levelled very serious allegations against you, including the release of PTR
08:48 tapes, where you said on record, your previous finance minister talking about your son and
08:53 son-in-law amazing close to 30,000 crore.
08:56 The Madras High Court a few days back has said that the mere continuation of Sindhil
09:00 Balaji as a minister is violating all democratic ethos and norms that is required for a good
09:06 governance.
09:07 Still you have kept him as a minister and the taxpayers are giving him salary.
09:10 What are you talking about probity in governance?
09:12 Nobody is afraid of Indy Alliance, sir.
09:15 All of us wanted Indy Alliance because once Indy Alliance comes, people of India will
09:20 see.
09:21 The Dinasht, the corrupt, the Kabals, the elitist, the family-run parties, all sitting
09:26 in one high table.
09:27 It is like Judah trying to go after the Christ after the great supper.
09:33 If I can quote you from one thing, from a religion which your son said belongs to, Sanatana
09:38 Dharma by its very nature, it accommodates everybody.
09:42 In Sanatana Dharma, Christian faith, Muslim faith, Sikh faith, any other faith is as important
09:49 as a Hindu faith.
09:50 That is how the government of India, that is how the Honorable Prime Minister, that
09:54 is how Narendra Modi ji has been doing the administration for the last 9 years plus.
10:00 Please don't leaven any allegations that you don't know about.
10:04 So the coming election we have challenged you.
10:05 Let us fight on Sanatana Dharma.
10:07 Let DMK say it is going to abolish Sanatana Dharma.
10:10 We will say we will protect and preserve Sanatana Dharma.
10:12 We will see where people of Tamil Nadu are going to vote.
10:15 Because we know the DMK drama for the last many years.
10:19 After you come to power, the first year is opposing Sanatana Dharma.
10:22 Second year, you say abolishing Sanatana Dharma.
10:25 Third year, you want to brutally root out Sanatana Dharma.
10:29 Fourth year you say you are a Hindu.
10:30 You say 90% of DMK party men are Hindu.
10:33 Fifth year, you take a veil to say you are also a Hindu.
10:36 So this drama Tamil Nadu has seen for the last many many decades.
10:40 When elections comes, you suddenly become an Amar and an Akbar and an Antony, which
10:45 Mr. Rahul Gandhi ji for the last 17 failed attempts is trying to do the same thing.
10:51 Becoming Amar in one state, becoming Akbar in one state, becoming Antony in one state.
10:55 The people of India and the people of Tamil Nadu and the whole of Bharat have read into
11:01 your elitist, cabal, family oriented, corrupt practices.
11:05 Come 2024, DMK as a party is going to get wiped out.
11:10 I didn't say it.
11:11 Your son said it.
11:12 Because D stands for dengue, M stands for malaria and K stands for kosu.
11:16 Good luck, sir.
11:17 Good luck.
11:18 Thank you.
11:18 Thank you.
11:19 Thank you.
11:19 Thank you.
11:20 Thank you.
11:21 Thank you.
