The assertion came amid a political row after DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin blamed 'Sanatan Dharma' for promoting division and discrimination among people and said it should be eradicated.
The Congress on Thursday said it did not agree with the remarks of DMK leaders Udhayanidhi Stalin and A Raja on 'Sanatan Dharma' and asserted the party believed in "sarvadharma sambhav" (equal respect to all religions).
The opposition party also asserted that every single member of the INDIA alliance has immense respect for all faiths, communities and beliefs.
The assertion came amid a political row after DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin blamed 'Sanatan Dharma' for promoting division and discrimination among people and said it should be eradicated. Also, DMK leader A Raja reportedly said 'Sanatan Dharma' should be compared to diseases such as AIDS and leprosy that have a social stigma attached to them.
