The IUML got angry, calling him names and saying he was spreading hate speech.
He even brought up an old quote from a former leader to support his claims.
The IUML says he's being unfair and that his words promote a sense of division.
An editorial in a newspaper also slammed Natesan for his comments, accusing him of stoking communal tensions.
