Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath entered the Sanatana Dharma row as he said it is the only religion and rest of all are sects and methods of worship.
His comments come at a time when there is a huge debate around the topic after DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin’s controversial remarks comparing Sanatana Dharma to Dengue sparked a massive row.
Yogi Adityanath said, “Sanatana Dharma is the only religion, the rest are all sects and methods of worship. Sanatan is the religion of humanity and if it is attacked then there will be a crisis for humanity across the globe”.
He made the remarks while speaking at the ‘Shrimad Bhagwat Katha Gyan Yagya’ event. Chief Minister Yogi addressed the final session, which marked the conclusion of the seven-day ‘Shrimad Bhagwat Katha Gyan Yagya’ held at the Gorakhnath Temple.
The event was held in remembrance of the 54th death anniversary of Mahant Digvijay Nath and the 9th death anniversary of the national saint Mahant Avaidyanath.
Further, Yogi Adityanath stressed the importance of having an open mindset to understand the essence of Shrimad Bhagwat’s narrow-minded perspectives and struggle to comprehend its vastness.
“The story of Bhagwat is boundless and cannot be confined to specific days or hours. It flows endlessly, and devotees continuously absorb its essence into their lives,” he added.
Meanwhile, a delegation led by Vishva Hindu Parishad’s international working president Alok Kumar met Governor R.N. Ravi on Wednesday and submitted a memorandum regarding Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development Udhayanidhi Stalin’s remarks on Sanatana Dharma.
Addressing the press later, Mr. Kumar said the delegation demanded the expulsion of Mr. Udhayanidhi and Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments P.K. Sekarbabu, who was present at the conference where the former made the remarks.
