Sanatan Dhar­ma Ma­ha Sab­ha (SDMS) sec­re­tary gen­er­al Vi­jay Ma­haraj has fired back at one po­lit­i­cal an­a­lyst, main­tain­ing that his or­gan­i­sa­tion does not align nor en­dorse any po­lit­i­cal par­ty, in­clud­ing the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC).

In a state­ment is­sued yes­ter­day, Ma­haraj took aim at Dr Bish­nu Ra­goonath, over his com­ments in a news ar­ti­cle sug­gest­ing that the UNC was seek­ing to re­move the Ma­ha Sab­ha's in­flu­ence from the par­ty.

In the ar­ti­cle, re­port­ed by Guardian Me­dia on Mon­day, head­lined "An­a­lysts: Kam­la has re­moved Pan­day, Ma­ha Sab­ha in­flu­ence from the UNC," Dr Ra­goonath con­tend­ed that the res­ig­na­tion of for­mer Ch­agua­nas West MP Di­nesh Ram­bal­ly from the UNC was in­dica­tive of the sep­a­ra­tion.
