A political controversy has arisen in Tamil Nadu following comments made by VMS Mustafa, a member of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), who endorsed DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin's statement advocating for the abolition of Sanatana Dharma. Mustafa stated, 'We too have entered the fray to abolish Sanatana,' aligning with the ideals of social reformers like Periyar and Ambedkar. This endorsement has prompted a backlash from BJP leaders, including Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran, who accused the DMK of insulting Hindu sentiments. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya criticized the remarks as arrogant, suggesting they mock the faith of millions. Udhayanidhi Stalin had previously reignited the Sanatana Dharma debate during his maiden speech as the leader of the opposition, stating that 'Sanatanam that divides people must certainly be eradicated.' Additionally, during his speech, he raised concerns about the order of songs played at the chief minister's swearing-in ceremony, claiming that 'Tamil Thai Vaazhthu' was not given the prominence it deserved.
