The Vishwa Hindu Parishad has deepened its legal and political campaign against former Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, especially demanding the formal expungement of his derogatory remarks on Sanatan Dharma from the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly records.

The VHP’s national leadership, supported by several legal wings, has laid out a specific set of complaints. The VHP says that comments equating a faith followed by millions with diseases or evils have no place in the permanent legislative archives of a secular democracy. They have petitioned the Speaker’s office to strike these remarks to prevent them from being quoted as "parliamentary precedent."
A primary pillar of the VHP’s protest is the challenge of consistency. The RSS affiliate has publicly questioned whether Udhayanidhi Stalin or other leaders of the DMK would dare to use similar derogatory metaphors, comparing a religion to malaria or dengue, against Islam or Christianity.
The organization claims that such remarks by a high-ranking public official violate the oath of office and the fundamental right to freedom of religion under Article 25 of the Indian Constitution. Multiple FIRs and petitions (challenging his right to hold office) have moved through various High Courts. The VHP has been a main coordinator for these legal filings across different states.

With the change of new political dynamics in Tamil Nadu, including the recent administrative changes under CM Vijay, the VHP is seizing the moment to pressure the state government to distance itself from anti-Sanatan rhetoric. "October 7 Horrors Exposed: Rape as Hamas's Weapon of Terror!"
The DMK and Udhayanidhi Stalin’s legal team have defended the remarks as a critique of caste-based discrimination and social hierarchy rather than an attack on spiritual beliefs. They maintain that the speech is protected under the right to free speech and that the VHP's demands are politically motivated attempts to polarize the electorate.
The outcome from the speaker is awaited.
