New Delhi, India - BJP national secretary Anil Antony has strongly criticized members of the INDIA bloc, including Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Antony accused them of trying to divide India by questioning its civilizational values.
Antony's remarks were in response to statements from these leaders that he believes challenge the core principles of India's unity and historical ethos. He expressed concern over the trend among INDI alliance members, which he claims began with Udhayanidhi Stalin and was recently echoed by Pinarayi Vijayan.
Antony emphasized the importance of India's civilizational ethos, particularly Sanatan values, in maintaining national unity. He highlighted the success of India's G20 summit, which embraced the theme "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" or "the world is one family," as a reflection of these values. He also noted that Mahatma Gandhi's principle of "Sarva Dharma Sambhava," advocating equal respect for all religions, was rooted in Sanatan ideals.
Antony accused the INDI alliance of attempting to create divisions based on caste and religion, undermining the unifying force of Sanatan and civilizational values. He stressed that these values have been crucial in helping India thrive as a diverse and pluralistic society.
