Madras High Court Rules Udhayanidhi Stalin's Sanatana Dharma Remarks As 'Hate Speech' | India Today

The Madras High Court's Madurai bench has ruled that Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin's 2023 remarks on Sanatana Dharma constituted 'hate speech'. The court observed that the minister's phrasing, specifically the term 'Sanatana Ozhippu', implied 'genocide or culturicide' and suggested the eradication of a culture. While one speaker in the bulletin thanked the court for 'bringing out the truth' and accused the DMK of 'vote bank politics' built on 'hatred towards Hindus', a second speaker defended the Deputy Chief Minister. The defender termed the judgment 'erroneous', stating that the minister was 'very, very categorical' about not allowing 'caste discrimination' or 'caste hierarchy to continue'. The court simultaneously quashed a criminal case against BJP's Amit Malviya, ruling his social media response did not constitute hate speech. The bulletin highlights the sharp political divide in Tamil Nadu following the judicial observation on the controversial 2023 speech.
