Hindu Munnani cadre also held a protest near Cuddalore District Head Post Office, despite the authorities denying them permission to assemble. They raised slogans against Udhayanidhi for his comments on Sanatana Dharma. Police asked them to disperse, and when the protesters refused, detained them.

Meanwhile, BJP functionaries and members of various Hindu organisations submitted a formal complaint at Chidambaram town police station seeking action against Makkal Athigaram’s general secretary C Raju for his remarks on RSS at a public gathering in Chidambaram on Tuesday night.

The complainants alleged that Raju called the Sangh an organisation involved in arms training and labelled it a terrorist group. These statements could affect social harmony, the complainants said, demanding legal action against Raju.
