Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Minister P.K. Sekarbabu has filed a writ appeal before the Madras High court for expunging certain remarks made by Justice G. Jayachandran regarding his participation in the Sanatana Dharma annihilation conference held in Chennai on September 2, 2023.
In the grounds of appeal, the Minister stated a random individual named Magesh Karthikeyan of Chennai had filed a writ petition in the High Court in October this year seeking a direction to the Avadi police commissionerate to grant permission for a conference to criticise the Dravidian ideology.
Justice G. Jayachandran dismissed that writ petition on October 31, 2023. However, while doing so, the judge observed that the failure of the police to act against those who had participated in a conference to eradicate Sanatana Dharma had emboldened others to call for eradication of Dravidian ideology.
