As the Bharatiya Janata Party continues its onslaught on Udhayanidhi Stalin for his "sanatana dharma must be eradicated" remark, the Congress on Monday seemed to waver between support for the embattled Tamil Nadu politician and rejection of his comment.
Senior leader KC Venugopal underlined the need to respect all religions, stating that every political outfit "has the freedom to (express) their views" and that the Congress "respects everybody's beliefs..." "Our view is clear... 'Sarva Dharma Samabhava' is the Congress ideology," he said.
