Days after DMK MLA Udhayanidhi Stalin spoke about eradicating Sanathana Hindu Dharma on the floor of the legislative assembly, TVK MLA VMS Mustafa came in support of Udhayanidhi Stalin’s remarks. "We also have Periyar and Ambedkar, we are also fighting on the ground on the plank of eradicating Sanatan Dharma," TVK MLA VMS Mustafa said.

BJP's K Annamalai took cognizance of the event and stated that the event was not only unfortunate, but it also showed the level of hatred the parties harboured in their minds towards an eternal Dharma that helps us to lead a meaningful life.

"DMK & TVK, in their very short history, have proven to the people that they are two sides of the same coin. DMK has forgotten what their constant attack on Sanathana Hindu Dharma has brought them to. TVK will also soon remember," the BJP leader said.
 

"If either DMK or TVK had the courage of conviction, they should have openly declared during their election campaigns that targeting Sanathana Hindu Dharma would be central to their politics. Instead, they hid behind secularism & theatrics, only to reveal their true intentions after seeking votes from the very people whose faith they now insult with arrogance and impunity. Please be reminded, Sanathana Hindu Dharma is not your punching bag! I sincerely hope their remarks will not go unpunished by our people," he added.
 
 

This is two days after DMK leader and Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin reiterated his ideological opposition to Sanatan Dharma during discussions surrounding the new Tamil Nadu Assembly session. "Sanatan Dharma, which separated people, must be eradicated," he said. During this, CM Vijay could be seen silently listening to the statement, which triggered controversy on social media.
 

It is important to note that as of now, TVK and its leader, CM Vijay, claim to be walking on the path of 'secularism'. It has occasionally taken positions that overlap with BJP narratives on certain cultural or governance issues and has also criticized both Dravidian majors, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).

However, in the given case, Vijay’s silence and TVK leader's statement show ideological softness toward DMK-style “anti-Sanatan” politics.
