The Supreme Court of India has put a stop to the initiation of any new legal proceedings against Udhayanidhi Stalin, a minister in Tamil Nadu, following his controversial statement regarding “eradicating Sanatan Dharma.” The court’s ruling prohibits the filing of fresh cases against Stalin without prior permission. This development follows a series of complaints lodged against him for likening ‘Sanatan Dharma’ to ailments such as the coronavirus. In response to the situation, the court has granted Stalin protection from any coercive measures linked to these complaints. The decision marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding Stalin’s remarks.
