His remarks on ‘Sanatana Dharma’ invited criticism and debate by the BJP leaders and supporters across the country. He questioned on who spoke against the goddess Umayaval for which none answered including PT Rajan. After this PT Rajan and Annadurai apologised and ran away from Madurai”. Annamalai reverted saying that what he spoke is real and the speech of Muthuramalingam Thevar, PT Rajan and Annadurai can be found in the archived copies of The Hindu dated 2,3 and 4, June 1956. But Annadurai was not asked to apologise nor he ran away from Madurai as Annamalai claimed.
