Kalaburagi MP Umesh Jadhav has demanded that Tamil Nadu Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, who called for eradication of Sanatana Dharma like dengue and malaria, and Karnataka Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge, who endorsed the former’s remarks, should be sacked from the respective Cabinet.
Addressing presspersons in Kalaburagi on Thursday, Dr. Jadhav said that for the statement made by both these Ministers, Mr. Stalin and Mr. Kharge should be dropped from the Cabinet for hurting the religious sentiments of more than 110 crore people who follow Sanatana Dharma in India.
Dr. Jadhav said that he has written to the Governor against Mr. Kharge demanding that he be sacked from the Cabinet.
The Constitution guarantees to every citizen the liberty to follow the religion of his choice. One cannot show disrespect towards any religion, Dr. Jadhav added.
Mr. Stalin belongs to Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), which is a part of INDIA bloc.
AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, who is leading the INDIA alliance, should clarify his stand on the statement made by Mr. Stalin and Priyank Kharge calling for eradication of Sanatana Dharma like dengue and malaria. Mallikarjun Kharge should also make clear his views about Sanatana Dharma, Dr. Jadhav added.
Meanwhile, the former legislator Rajkumar Patil Telkur said that the Congress and its alliance parties are targeting Hindus by hurting their religious sentiments. Mr. Telkur demanded that Mr. Stalin and Priyank Kharge tender unconditional apology to the people of the country for hurting their religious sentiments.
