Sanatana Dharma row | Plea urges Madras High Court to call for video footage from television and YouTube channels

A sub-application has been filed in the Madras High Court urging it to call for video footage, from a Tamil television news channel, of a conference organised by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers Artists Association in Chennai on September 2, 2023 when Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin batted for the annihilation of Sanatana Dharma in the presence of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P.K. Sekarbabu.

The sub-application was listed for hearing before Justice Anita Sumanth on Tuesday, along with another sub-application seeking a direction to a YouTube channel to produce the video recording of a DMK booth agents’ meeting held at Udhagamandalam on September 21, 2023 when Member of Parliament A. Raja, too, had spoken in favour of the eradication of Sanatana Dharma.

Apart from these, two more sub-applications had been filed urging the court to replace the Special Secretary, Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly with the Secretary, Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly as the respondent in the writ of quo warranto petitions filed against the two Ministers, questioning the authority under which they were continuing to be legislators despite having participated in the conference against Sanatana Dharma.
