‘Sanatan Dharma has already left Tamil Nadu’

Offensive statement by Tamil Nadu Congress leader J.M.H. Aassan Maulaana

Chennai – ‘A K Palaniswami (AIADMK leader) is out (he doesn’t have support within the party), which means Narendra Modi is out (AIADMK has an alliance with BJP), that means that Sanatan Dharma in Tamil Nadu is already out. Sanatan Dharma will never prosper in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is far ahead of all these things,’ Congress leader J.M.H. Aassan Maulaana said.

Had any Hindu leader made a statement about banishing Islam from Tamil Nadu; there would have been nationwide outrage. However, even when Hindus are repeatedly targeted, they continue to maintain restraint — this is what has once again become evident. Hindus need to oppose such incidents through lawful means.
