In response to Tamil Nadu Minister and DMK Leader Udhayanidhi Stalin's controversial remark, Maharashtra Congress Chief Nana Patole emphasized the party's clear stance of refraining from commenting on any religion or causing offense to anyone's sentiments. Udhayanidhi Stalin's statement during a September 2 conference, where he likened "Sanatana" to diseases like malaria and dengue and called for its eradication rather than opposition, sparked a political outcry. Patole's comments reflect a commitment to maintaining a respectful and non-controversial discourse concerning religious matters while distancing the Congress party from the contentious statement made by Stalin.
