A complaint petition has been filed in a Bihar court against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and his son Udhayanidhi Stalin over the latter’s statement calling for the eradication of Sanatana Dharma. The petition has been filed by an advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha in the court of the chief judicial magistrate of Muzaffarpur Pankaj Kumar Lal stating that the statement of Udhayanidhi Stalin has hurt the sentiments of Hindus.
Ojha has requested the court to take cognisance of the matter and order an investigation against CM Stalin and Udayanidhi under different sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The court has listed the matter for hearing on September 14. The father-son duo have been booked under IPC sections 500 (defamation), 504 (causing insult to somebody intentionally), 295 (insulting religion of any class), 295 (A) (deliberate or malicious act intended to outrage religious sentiment of any class), 298 (deliberate intention to hurt religious feeling) and 120 (B) (conspiracy).
On Saturday, Udhayanidhi Stalin, the Youth Welfare Minister in MK Stalin’s cabinet in Tamil Nadu, had said that Sanatana Dharma is like malaria and dengue and so it must be eradicated and not merely opposed.
