Udhayanidhi said his remarks were misinterpreted and claimed that they were aimed at addressing issues faced by women and the allegedly repressive practices towards them in Sanatan Dharma.
Meanwhile he asserted that he echoed the views of Dravidian leaders like Periyar, former chief minister CN Annadurai and M Karunanidhi. He quoted “Women were not allowed to study. They were unable to leave their homes, and if their husbands died, they would have to die as well. Thanthai Periyar spoke against all of this. I echoed what Periyar, Anna, and Kalaignar said”. Earlier in september 2023, the deputy chief minister had compared Sanatan dharma to dengue and malaria, saying that it should not just be opposed but also “eradicated” like these mosquito-borne diseases. His comments had come at a ‘Sanatana Abolition Conference’, where he argued that Sanatan dharma is against social justice and equality.
When echoing his father and cm MK Stalin’s views on the matter, he said couples should give tamil names to their children. He was quoted “I request the newlyweds to come up with a beautiful tamil name for their child. Because many are attempting to impose hindi in tamil Nadu”.
