On the other hand, the chief priest of Ram Janmabhoomi Acharya Satyendra Das said that the Sanatana Dharma cannot be eradicated at any cost.

“'Sanatana Dharma' has existed for centuries and will remain so. He (Udhayanidhi Stalin) does not understand the real meaning of 'Sanatana Dharma', whatever he is saying is absolutely wrong...," Das told ANI. On Saturday, Udhayanidhi Stalin said, “Sanatana is like malaria and dengue and so it must be eradicated and not opposed." The remarks also sparked a significant backlash on social media, with numerous individuals urging for legal action to be taken against the Tamil Nadu minister.

BJP's Amit Malviya took to X and slammed MK Stalin adding, “Rahul Gandhi speaks of 'Mohabbat ki dukaan' but Congress ally DMK's scion talks about eradicating Sanatana Dharma." “Congress's silence is support for this genocidal call. INDIA Alliance, true to its name, if given an opportunity, will annihilate the millennia-old civilization that is Bharat," Malviya said. The DMK, which is a part of the INDIA bloc, held discussions with fellow opposition leaders in Mumbai recently.
