Sanatana Dharma Remark Row: Plea In SC Seeking A FIR On Udhayanidhi Stalin
Delhi/Hyderabad, Sept 8 (Maxim News) A petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Thursday seeking its direction for registration of an FIR against Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and former Union Minister A. Raja for their comments on Sanatana Dharma. Throwing his weight behind Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of DMK chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K Stalin, Raja has likened ‘Sanatana Dharma‘ to leprosy and HIV.
The application, filed in the top court by Advocate Vineet Jindal, has also sought the issuance of a contempt notice against Delhi and Chennai Police, accusing them of not implementing the directions of the apex court on hate speech.
The top court had on April 28 this year directed all states and Union Territories to register cases against those making hate speeches even if no complaint was made.
The petitioner has sought direction from the police to lodge an FIR against Udhayanidhi Stalin, and Raja for their comments, claiming they promoted enmity between different groups on the grounds of religion, race, etc. These offenses are punishable under the Indian Penal Code.
“It is respectfully submitted that the applicant, being a Hindu and Sanatan Dharma follower, his religious sentiments are hurt by statements made by the non-applicant Udhayanidhi Stalin calling for eradicating Sanatan dharma and further comparing Sanatan with mosquitoes, dengue, corona, and malaria, Jindal has said in his application
Earlier, over 260 eminent citizens, including former judges and bureaucrats, had written to Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud urging him to take cognisance o Udhayanidhi Stalin’s eradicate “Sanatan Dharma” remarks. (Maxim News)
