The Supreme Court criticized Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin for his remarks against Sanatana Dharma, stating that he abused his rights under the Constitution's freedom of speech and religion. Stalin had previously said that Sanatana Dharma divides people based on caste and religion, sparking controversy. The court was hearing his plea to combine multiple FIRs filed against him for these remarks. Stalin later clarified that his comments were against caste-based discrimination, not Hinduism. His lawyer sought to combine the FIRs citing similar cases involving Arnab Goswami and others.
