CHENNAI: Murasoli, the DMK’s mouthpiece, has slammed Tamil Nadu governor R N Ravi for his speech glorifying ‘sanatana dharma’ at an event to commemorate the 100th year of the devotional song ‘Harivarasanam’. The editorial that appeared in Murasoli on Monday wondered whether he was the governor or a protector of sanatana dharma.
Murasoli flayed the governor for insisting on the national education policy (NEP), which the paper called “a modern version of Manusmriti”; it also said NEET is a modern version of sanatana dharma. “They are against social justice. The governor is unaware what sanatana dharma is and he should enlighten himself about it from President Ram Nath Kovind, who was denied entry into the Jagannath temple,” the editorial said and emphasized that the governor should speak about rule of law and not rule of Manu.
