As the controversy around statements on Sanatana Dharma made by DMK leaders Udhayanidhi Stalin and later A Raja continue to trigger reactions, Kerala-based social activist Rahul Easwar said that the comments made by these leaders are extremely offensive and call for strict action. Speaking exclusively to India Today, Easwar said using words like eradication, and A Raja doubling it by comparing it with Dengue and leprosy is not less than hate speech.
