The BJP workers also urged the Governor to dismiss Minister PK Sekar Babu for being a part of the Sanatana eradication conference, which was a violation of his oath to office. 

In the memorandum, Annamalai asked, "How is the call for stabbing and killing one section of the society any different from the call for Eradication of Entire Santana Dharma? By saying that he is following the footsteps of EV Ramasamy, is Udhayanidhi Stalin recommending people to stab and kill practitioners of Sanatana Dharma?"

Further, he told the Governor to instruct DGP of the state to take action on the complaints and file an FIR. 

The statement of Annamalai came even after Udhayanidhi Stalin and TN CM Stalin reiterated that the Minister did not use the word 'Genocide' in the speech.

Meanwhile, Hindu Munnani members staged a protest in Madurai against DMK Minister Udhayanidhi for his remarks against 'Sanatan Dharma'.
