Chennai: Tamil Nadu Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, in a fresh statement, urged the party cadres to work for the movement and leave the legal fight to him, with regard to the concocted cases filed against him accusing him of making a genocidal call when he called for eradication of sanatana.
Udhayanidhi said it was his duty to clarify certain things to his party members about the September 2 conference calling for "Annihilation of Santana" organised by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers and Artists Association(TNPWAA) of the CPI(M), where he equated the 'sanatana' to diseases like dengue and malaria, which should be eradicated for good.
What BJP did in 9 years? "For the last 9 years, all your (BJP) promises are empty promises. What have you exactly done for our welfare?" is a question currently being raised in unison by the entire country against an unarmed, fascist BJP government, he charged.
BJP survives by spreading slanders- It is in this background that the BJP leaders have twisted my speech at the TNPWAA conference as 'inciting genocide'. They consider it a weapon to protect themselves. What is surprising is the Ministers of the Union government like Amit Shah and Chief Minister of States ruled by the BJP demanding action against me based on fake news.

In all fairness, I should be the one filing criminal cases and other court cases against them for spreading slander while holding respectable positions. But I am aware that this is their mode of survival. They don't know how else to survive, so I decided not to do that, Udhayanidhi reasoned.
Not enemies of any religion- I am one of the political heirs of Perarignar Anna, the founder of the DMK. Everyone knows that we are not enemies of any religion, the DMK youth wing secretary said.
Udhayanidhi quoting the DMK founder Anna said he would be first person to oppose the religion if it divides people in the name of castes, if it teaches them untouchability and slavery. "We respect all religions that teach, "all lives are born equal"."
Modi's white flag works in border- Udhayanidhi blamed Modi for not understanding the ideals of the DMK and for relying on slanders to face the Parliamentary elections. He said the PM has not done anything for the country. “Occasionally he demonetizes money, builds wall to hide huts, builds new Parliamentary building, erects a Sengol there, plays around by changing the name of the country, standing at border and making the white flag work.”
What DMK did- Udhayanidhi wondered what progressive scheme the Union government has come up with in the last nine years like those of the DMK's "Pudhumai Penn" or the Chief Minister's breakfast scheme or the Kalaignar's women's rights scheme. "Have they built the AIIMS in Madurai? Did they take forward any knowledge movement like the Kalaignar centenary library."
'Modi running away from Manipur'- Afraid of having to face questions about Manipur in India, he is globe-trotting along with his friend Adani. The fact is, the ignorance of the people is the capital of their theatrical politics, he charged.
Modi & Co busy making Sanatana ploy- Modi and co are using the Sanatana ploy to divert the attention from the facts including the killing of more than 250 people in the riots incited in Manipur and the Rs 7.5 lakh crore corruption, the Minister charged. The figure "Rs 7.5 lakh crore corruption" is apparently derived from the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on central schemes.

Seers need publicity- On a UP seer announcing Rs 10 crore bounty on his head, Udhayanidhi said "It is the seers who need a lot of publicity today."
"One such seer has jumped in and put a price of Rs 10 crore on my head. What surprises me more than the price on my head is how can someone who claimed to have renounced everything have Rs 10 crore. Apart from this, many people seem to be filing complaints against me at various police stations and honourable courts in the country. In this situation, I am given to understand that our party members have been filing complaints in various police stations against the seer who issued the death threats, besides burning his effigies and pictures, and putting up posters condemning him."
Let me fight- He urged the party brethren to avoid such things altogether, citing their pressed schedule as regards to the movement and people.
"When there is so much work to be done, I request our cadres to not be involved in works that waste our time like filing cases against the seers, or burning his effigies. I would like to inform that I will face the cases filed against me legally with the guidance of our party president and on the advice of our party high command," Udhayanidhi said.
Udhayanidhi's kutty goat story on Edappadi- "When we were in the opposition, we used to go from house to house to distribute essential commodities including rice, groceries and vegetables. What were the ADMK and BJP doing then? They were fighting hard to eradicate the coronavirus by banging bells and holding lamps," Udhaynidhi asked, taking aim at the Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami.
"We are the ruling party today. Even today, we are going from house to house to provide welfare assistance to meaningfully celebrate the Kalaignar's (the late M Karunanidhi) centenary. On the other hand, the AIADMK is holding tamarind rice conferences in the backdrop of songs and dances...," Udhayanidhi said.
"Palaniswami is dancing to all their tunes," and was supporting them on matters like "One nation and one election," the Minister said.
You have been looking in the books stacked safely stacked inside your house for the meaning of Sanatanam. You can't hide yourself long in the goat's beard hoping to escape the Kodanad murder-robbery and corruption cases. Remember what will happen to you when the goat disappears one day, Udhayanidhi said.
