Pratap Simha, Mysuru MP, on Saturday, September 9, claimed that Sanatana dharma is a religion that was closest to science.
Responding to Tamil Nadu Minister Udayanidhi Stalin’s reported remark that Sanatana dharma should be eradicated, Mr. Simha, a BJP MP, told reporters in Mysuru that it was Sanatana dharma that had described earth as round while Hanuman Chalis had accurately estimated the distance between earth and sun.
Further, he went on to add that nuclear physicists too ratified Hindu religion and cited theoretical physicist Robert Oppenheimer’s reported statement that he was inspired by the vedas.
