Referring to Supreme Court, the DMK leader Raja said the basic structure of the Constitution cannot be altered or cannot be changed. He said even Parliament do not have the right to alter the Constitution.

"But now again the case has been regarding this came to Supreme Court. Even SC came forward to hear that, what is more cruel than this? So, hence Viduthalai, Murasoli and Theekathir should not hesitate to ask who is Hindu? I do not like to be Hindu. Why are you keeping me as Hindu? We should raise this question. I have never seen a religion like Hindu," A Raja stated. 

The DMK MP said Lingayats have filed a petition on the Supreme Court stating that "Ours way of worship is different. Our Spiritual ideology is different. Do not make us Hindus."

But According to Supreme Court, Raja said, "If you are not a Christian, Muslim or Persian you should be a Hindu. Do any other countries have this much cruelty? Till you are a Hindu, you are Sudhra. Till you are a Sudhra, you are a prostitute's son. Till you are a Hindu, you are a Dalit and untouchable."

He said the time has come for Murasoli, DMK, Viduthalai and DK to strongly raise the question that "how many are like to be prostitutes' sons and how many are like to be untouchables? Then only we can uproot the base of Sanatan."(ANI)
