Case against Pawan Kalyan in Tamil Nadu an attack on Sanātana Dharma, says BJP State president Madhav
BJP State president P.V.N. Madhav has condemned the filing of a case against Deputy Chief Minister and JSP president K. Pawan Kalyan in Tamil Nadu, calling it a blatant attack on Sanatana Dharma and equating it to an assault on 'Murugan'.
Addressing the media here on Wednesday, Mr. Madhav lashed out at the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government, accusing it of harbouring anti-Hindu, anti-Vedic sentiments, and carrying out a malicious agenda against temples and cows.
He said, 'Temples are not just places of worship — they are the foundation of our social systems and the very backbone of traditional crafts and livelihoods. Protecting temples and cows is not just a religious duty but a civilizational necessity.'
Mr. Madhav stated that the BJP stands in complete solidarity with Mr. Pawan Kalyan and Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai, noting that both leaders were fighting a principled battle to uphold dharma and constitutional rights.
He described the current regime in Tamil Nadu as one driven by destructive intentions toward Sanatana Dharma, and added that villages with temples must themselves be treated as sacred spaces.
Calling the DMK government a tyranny, he alleged that it had repeatedly targeted sacred institutions, sought to dismantle traditional values, and harboured contempt for the Vedas and Vedic culture.
The recent case filed against Mr. Pawan Kalyan, who extended support to Mr. Annamalai in defending Hindu causes, was, according to Mr. Madhav, 'a political vendetta and a sign of desperation.'
He asserted that the BJP and JSP would fight unitedly, and predicted that the DMK would be decisively defeated in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
BJP NTR district president Adduri Sri Ram, senior leaders Nagothu Ramesh Naidu, Mitta Vamsi, and others were present.
