Udhayanidhi is the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and ruling DMK chief MK Stalin.

Speaking at a conference in Chennai in September 2023, Udhayanidhi had said Sanatana Dharma was against social justice and equality and that it should be ‘eradicated’ like malaria and dengue.

The statement had drawn widespread condemnation from various quarters.
