Jan Jagarana Samithi Offers 10 Lakh Bounty for Hitting Udayanidhi with Shoe
In a shocking turn of events, the Jan Jagarana Samithi has offered a substantial reward of Rs 10 lakh to anyone who dares to hit Tamil Nadu Minister Udayanidhi Stalin with a slipper, all in response to his contentious remarks about Sanatana Dharma. The controversy began when Minister Udayanidhi Stalin, a member of the DMK, likened Sanatana Dharma, one of the oldest and most revered religions in India, to malaria and dengue. His comments have since ignited a firestorm of criticism and backlash from various quarters, particularly among the followers of Hinduism.

Posters announcing this unusual reward were quickly posted across the Telugu states, intensifying the fervour surrounding the issue. Udayanidhi Stalin’s derogatory statement, which seemed to equate Sanatana Dharma with deadly diseases, struck a chord with many who took offense to what they saw as an insensitive and disrespectful comparison.
Adding to the already tense situation, a prominent seer from Ayodhya openly declared a staggering bounty of Rs 10 crore on Udayanidhi Stalin’s head. This shocking move was accompanied by a theatrical display of tearing a picture of the Tamil Nadu Minister with a sword, followed by its symbolic burning. The seer’s actions were seen as a direct challenge to Udayanidhi Stalin’s comments, escalating the hostility surrounding the issue.
In an even more alarming twist, the seer declared his intention to increase the reward for anyone who successfully carried out the gruesome act of beheading Udayanidhi Stalin. This threat to the Minister’s life did not go unnoticed, and a concerned DMK worker promptly lodged a complaint. As a result, a case has been registered with the cybercrime unit in Madurai, reflecting the gravity of the situation and the potential threat to Udayanidhi Stalin’s life.

The controversy has left many citizens deeply divided and concerned about the country’s religious tolerance and free speech. While freedom of speech is a fundamental right, it is expected to be exercised responsibly, particularly by public figures like government officials. The comments made by Udayanidhi Stalin have undoubtedly tested the boundaries of this right and stirred intense emotions within the Hindu community.
This incident also highlights the broader issue of religious sensitivity in India, a diverse nation where people from various faiths coexist. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of promoting interfaith harmony and understanding to prevent such controversies from escalating further.
