Controversies

Comments on Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley

During an election rally at Dharapuram in 2021, Udhyanidhi alleged that both Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley died due to stress from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, responding to comments made by the Prime Minister at Dharapuram, where Modi had said that Udhyanidhi had reached the top post in the party, sidelining many leaders. [35] [36]

Both Bansuri Swaraj, the daughter of Sushma Swaraj, and Sonali Jaitley Bakshi, the daughter of Arun Jaitley, called the comments false. [37] [38]

Following this, the Election Commission of India (EC) issued a notice of elections violation to Udhayanidhi and asked him to respond. [39]

Remarks on Sanatana Dharma

Addressing a conference organised by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers Artists Association on the theme of "Eradication of Sanatana", he remarked that "sanatana cannot be simply opposed, but had to be eradicated" and said that it is against social justice and equality. [40]

Following this, senior Supreme Court lawyer Vineet Jindal reported the remarks to the Delhi Police calling them "provocative, inciting and defamatory." [41] Lawyer Sudhir Kumar Ojha also filed a complaint with the Muzaffarpur Magistrate Court. [42]

A letter signed by 262 notable citizens and sent to Chief Justice DY Chandrachud pressed for the Supreme Court to take up the case on its own. [43] The Supreme Court subsequently began an investigation into the remarks. [44]
