New Delhi:

Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin – at the centre of a storm over his “sanatana dharma must be eradicated” remark – doubled down and declared “I will repeat the same thing again and again”. However, Mr Stalin also said that he had only “condemned caste differences”.

The clarifying comments by Mr Stalin come amid apoplectic attacks by the Bharatiya Janata Party, whose senior leaders have dismissed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin’s son as “Udhayanidhi Hitler” and slammed the opposition INDIA alliance as “anti-Hindu”.
