The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders targeted Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin over his Diwali wish for \u201cthose who have faith”, accusing him of discrimination against Hindus.<\/p>\n

Speaking about an event, he said, \u201cWhen I reached the stage, many gave me bouquets, books, and some didn\u2019t know what to tell me. Some hesitated whether to wish me on Diwali or not. They thought, \u2018What if he gets angry if we wish?\u2019 I am saying Happy Diwali to those who have faith.”<\/p>\n

Udhayanidhi is the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and party chief MK Stalin. His\u00a0remarks drew a sharp response from the BJP.<\/p>\n

Senior BJP leader and former Governor Tamilisai Soudararajan extended Diwali greetings to CM Stalin and the Deputy CM. \u201cThey are fundamentally Hindu, irrespective of whether they agree or not. We will not wish only those who believe. I strongly condemn Udhayanidhi\u2019s remarks,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you greet people from other religions, you don\u2019t say it is for those who believe. But when it comes to the Hindu religion, you say it\u2019s for those who believe,” she said.<\/p>\n

Attacking the state government, Tamil Nadu BJP spokesperson ANS Prasad said the ruling party lacks basic grace to greet Hindus during festivals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s common knowledge that the DMK is an anti-Hindu party. Once ensconced in power, they are duty-bound to treat every citizen with absolute equality. The Constitution, meticulously crafted by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, underscores this imperative with unyielding clarity. Yet, the DMK regime lacks even the basic grace to offer greetings for Hindu festivals, choosing instead to spew unrelenting vitriol exclusively against the Hindu faith,” Prasad said.<\/p>\n
