The Supreme Court of India has issued a stay on fresh legal proceedings against Udaynidhi Stalin, the Tamil Nadu minister, for his controversial statement regarding ‘eradicate Sanatan Dharma’, unless authorized by the court. This ruling follows a slew of cases filed against Stalin for likening ‘Sanatan Dharma’ to ailments such as the coronavirus. The court’s directive includes shielding Stalin from any coercive measures linked to these litigations.
