Bengaluru, 25 June
Tamil Nadu Minister Udayanidhi
Stalin was granted bail on Tuesday by a city court for his 'eradicate Sanatana
Dharma' remark.
The DMK leader appeared before the
42nd Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate following a notice to him based
on a petition by social activist Paramesh for his remark.
Udayanidhi Stalin, who holds sports
and youth affairs portfolio, got the bail with a surety of Rs one lakh. The
case has been posted to 8 August. Udhayanidhi is the son of Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister and ruling DMK Chief MK Stalin.
Speaking at a conference in Chennai
in September 2023, Udhayanidhi had said Sanatana Dharma was against social
justice and equality and that it should be 'eradicated' like malaria and
dengue. The statement had drawn widespread condemnation from various quarters.
