The DMK on Sunday condemned Governor R.N. Ravi ‘s comments on Santana Dharma and said they were in contravention of the Constitution and against 90% of India’s population.
In a statement, DMK treasurer and MP T.R. Baalu said the Governor had said it was “Sanatana Dharma which had built this Bharat [India]” and spoken about Americans bombing Kandahar and Peshawar.
“These statements are not good for the constitutional position he holds... Who is the Governor trying to guide,” Mr. Baalu asked. He felt that Mr. Ravi’s speech was an attempt to tear down the Constitution’s founding principles.
