Terming the statement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Tamil Nadu Minister Udayanidhi Stalin’s remarks on Sanatana Dharma required a “proper response” as “provocative and anti-Constitutional”, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah urged Mr. Modi to withdraw his statement.
In a social media post, Mr. Siddaramaiah maintained that instead of initiating action as per law, instigating people by asking them to provide proper response will be nothing but a call to take law into their hands. He argued that such an action was a crime even if it is done by the Prime Minister.
Observing that Mr. Modi was not just a BJP leader, but a person who holds the Constitutional post of the Prime Minister, the Mr. Siddaramaiah said as per Rajadharma, his behaviour, action, and response should be in accordance with the dignity of that post.
