KOCHI/NEW DELHI: Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday stood firm on his statement that spiritual leader and social reformer Sree Narayana Guru should not be seen as a proponent of Sanatana Dharma, even as BJP mounted attack on the veteran CPI(M) leader, accusing him of "insulting Hinduism".
"I stand by what I have stated about Sanatana Dharma," Vijayan said while responding to a question on the BJP's criticism of the remarks that he had made while inaugurating the Sivagiri pilgrimage conference a day ago.
On Tuesday, Vijayan claimed that the Guru, who advocated "one caste, one religion and one God for people" had neither been a spokesperson nor a practitioner of the Sanatana Dharma.
