Narendra Modi addressed Udhayanidhi Stalin's ‘Sanatan Dharma’ remark, which has caused a stir amid political circles in India. PM Modi said Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin's "Sanatana Dharma" remark needs ‘ proper response’.

Earlier in the day, an FIR was registered here against DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's son Priyank Kharge for allegedly outraging religious feelings, police said on Wednesday.
