Expressing their support to Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge for their statement on Sanatana Dharma, members of the Dalit Sangharsh Samiti (DSS) said that Sanatana Dharma is not just like dengue and malaria but it is as endemic as AIDS and leprosy.
“Sanatana Dharma is not just like dengue and malaria, it is as dangerous as AIDS and leprosy. And, it should be eradicated from society,” State convenor of Karnataka State Dalit Sangharsh Samiti Arjun Bhadre told presspersons in Kalaburagi on Tuesday.
Mr. Stalin and Mr. Kharge have said that Sanatana Dharma should not only be opposed but also eradicated from society as it divides people in the name of caste and religion. Both the Ministers have spoken in alignment with the ideologies of Buddha, Basaveshwara, Periyar Ramasamy, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Sahu Maharaj who have in the past advocated equality, Mr. Bhadre said.
