Tamil Nadu Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin, referring to his remarks from last year on Sanatan Dharma's eradication, said, "I'm 'Kalaignar' [ex-Tamil Nadu CM Karunanidhi's] grandson and I'll not apologise for anything." "I also mentioned principles given by Periyar, [former CM] CN Annadurai and...Kalaignar. But my statements were distorted falsely," Udhayanidhi said. "What I said is said," he added.
