Days after the Supreme Court pulled him for his remarks on Sanatana Dharma, DMK minister Udhayanidhi Stalin today got some relief from Madras High Court. The court today dismissed a petition, which had challenged the continuation of Mr Stalin and two other DMK leaders as legislators.
The high court observed that Mr Stalin’s remarks were “wrong”, but noted that he has not been convicted by any court yet.
The 46-year-old DMK leader, who is the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, had made the controversial remarks on Sanatana Dharma last September. The remarks, in which he said “Sanatana is like malaria and dengue and must be eradicated, had sparked a massive row.
