DMK youth wing leader and Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Sunday said that no Swamis or Sankaracharyas attended the Ram temple consecration in Ayodhya because Prime Minister Narendra Modi had participated in it.
“I said it four months ago. I spoke for you. I said all are equal,” he said, recalling his speech on Sanatana Dharma, and suggesting that the seers had stayed away because Mr. Modi belonged to the backward caste.
He said that he would not apologise for his remarks on Sanatana Dharma. “I am the grandson of Kalaignar (Karunanidhi). I will not take back my comment. I respect the courts. There is nothing wrong in what I have said. I hope I will get justice. It is my firm belief that all are equal by birth,” he said, while participating in the party poll booth agents meeting organised by Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P.K. Sekarbabu in the East Chennai DMK district unit.
