Udhayanidhi Stalin

The short clip, which spread widely online, shows the minister seated in the front row with local DMK functionaries as the dancers perform on stage.

Reacting to Stalin, BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan said that he has insulted Sanatana Dharma and that appreciating one's own language does not mean degrading other mother tongue.

Speaking at a government function held at the Vellore Fort Grounds, the Deputy Chief Minister said that Tamil Nadu has become a model state in implementing welfare schemes that empower women and uplift the underprivileged.

Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin has called Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie an “ultimate mass entertainer” after attending a special screening. Praising the superstar’s 50-year journey in cinema and hailing director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s work, Stalin predicted the gangster drama will win audiences of all ages when it releases worldwide on August 14.

Analysts say that the Tamil Nadu Bill’s vague definition of 'coercive' recovery methods — potentially encompassing persistent follow-ups, late-night calls, or physical intimidation — could lead to inconsistent enforcement.

Sanatan Dharma case: Tamil Nadu minister and DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, who is the son of TN Chief Minister MK Stalin, last September caused controversy by drawing a comparison between Sanatan Dharma and diseases like 'malaria' and 'dengue.'

A bench of justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta told Stalin that he is a minister and should know the consequences of his remark.

He also met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, whom he referred to as "brother" and briefly discussed "the progress of the INDIA alliance in safeguarding the secular ethos of the nation".

In a letter to the CJI, the signatories, including former Delhi HC judge S N Dhingra, said not only did Udhayanidhi Stalin make a hate speech but refused to apologise for his remarks.

He said he didn't speak about just the Hindu faith but about all those that do so.
