Pramod Sawant on Tuesday said Mughals, British and other rulers failed to wipe out the Sanatan Dharma from the country in the past, but eradicating it is now the agenda of the INDIA alliance, and hence Hindus need to wake up and show the opposition bloc its place. Referring to Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin's remark calling for eradication of Sanatan Dharma, and blaming it for promoting division and discrimination among people, he said the statement was a «planned» one.
Addressing a press conference at Gwalior, around 430 km from here, Sawant also said the 'one nation, one election' will ensure that the country develops at a faster pace as imposition of the model of conduct due to frequent elections creates hurdles in development at present. When asked about the use of the name 'Bharat' during the G20 summit, the Goa CM said the name Bharat is already there in the Constitution and it is already being used everywhere since Independence.
«The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) changed its name to INDIA alliance, which is actually new wine in an old bottle.
Changing the name does not change the policies and intentions. Their agenda is to eradicate Sanatan Hindu Dharma,» he said. Hence, it is necessary for every Hindu to oppose this alliance, he said.
«I don't even want to pronounce the words used by them for Sanatan Dharma. All Hindus should wake up and show them their place. This is a pre-planned statement at the time of INDIA alliance meeting in Mumbai.
