The Supreme Court on Friday, Sept 22, issued notices to the Tamil Nadu Government and its minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on a petition seeking registration of an FIR against him for his “eradicate Sanatan Dharma” remark.
Acting on a petition filed by B Jagannath, a Bench of Justice Aniruddha Bose and Justice Bela M Trivedi asked the Tamil Nadu Government and Udayanidhi to respond to the petition.
Alleging that the remarks amounted to hate speech, Jagannath pointed out that the top court had in similar cases ordered registration of FIR.
“This court has taken note of similar matters where individuals make such a statement against another’s faith but in this case it is a minister making the statement. Here it is a state, which is telling the school students that so and so religion is wrong,” senior advocate D Seshadri Naidu submitted on behalf of the petitioner.
