The speaker of the state legislative assembly, Satish Mahana, on Tuesday said he was pained by the recent remarks against Sanatana Dharma made by a leader in Tamil Nadu.
“Sanatana Dharma is a way of life. It’s the truth and is identified with the culture of India,” said Mahana while speaking to media persons in an informal chat here.
Mahana said he has desisted from making any comments on any political controversy. He, however, felt the need to speak and make his point clear on the issue. He said such baseless remarks could not have any impact on Sanatana Dharma, and that they were an attack on the culture of India.
Mahana, who has undertaken a number of initiatives such as making the state legislative assembly paperless, said more such initiatives would be introduced in the coming weeks.
