“It has become very common for politicians to bash Hindus but as such a low level I never imagined," Dhingra said.
Two hundred and sixty two people, including 14 former judges on Tuesday, September 5 wrote to Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud requesting for “suo moto cognisance of Hate Speech made by Udhayanidhi Stalin.” Justice SN Dhingra (Retd), Signatory to the letter while speaking to Republic World Network threw light on the “lethargic” law and order system in Tamil Nadu.
“We have no expectation that the state of Tamil Nadu will act against its own minister. In these circumstances, it is only the Supreme Court who can give direction and hence we have written a letter to the SC,” said Dhingra.
Dhingra also threw light on how “Hindus were being bashed”. “It has become very common for politicians to bash Hindus but as such a low level I never imagined. It was the most filthy statement made by any person.”
Dhingra further said, “They are bashing Hindu Dharma, in order to gain sympathy from some people and some voters. There are many bad things that are not good in any religion. If you are comparing ‘Sanatan Dharma’ with COVID, dengue, and malaria it shows your sick mentality.”
What does the letter state?
The letter addressed to the Chief Justice of India by 262 people, asserts that the remarks made by Udhayanidhi Stalin come under the ambit of hate speech and are capable of provoking discord among religious communities.
The letter says that the statements made by Stalin have caused “anguish in the hearts and minds of common citizens... Especially those who believe in Sanatan Dharma.” The remarks of Udhayanidhi Stalin could cause communal disharmony and sectarian violence, suggests the letter.
The letter also highlights that Udhayanidhi Stalin not only made the comments but also refused to apologise for the same, and further justified them. “Not only did he make a hate speech but Udhayanidhi Stalin refused to apologise for his remarks. Rather he justified himself..” said the letter.
