Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development Udhayanidhi Stalin on Monday stood by his position on the ‘Sanatana Dharma’ row.
A judge of the Madras High Court, while passing an order in a case, had observed that the police should have registered cases against Mr. Udhayanidhi and Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department Minister P.K. Sekarbabu for participating in a conference seeking the “eradication” of ‘Sanatana Dharma’. When journalists asked Mr. Udhayanidhi about this, he defended his stance on the issue.
“I did not say anything wrong. I will not change my opinion. I have not said anything that Dr. Ambedkar, Periyar (E.V. Ramasamy) and even...Annan [Thol.] Thirumavalavan (VCK president) have said in the past. I will face it legally. I may lose my post as Minister or MLA tomorrow. What is more important to me is being human,” he said.
