India, March 4 -- In a major setback of Tamil Nadu minister and DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin, the Supreme Court on Monday rebuked the leader over his controversial "eradicate Sanatana Dharma" remark saying that he should have been careful with his statements as being a minister, he should be aware of the consequences of such statements.

"You are not a layman. You are a minister. You should know the consequences," the top court said to Stalin's lawyer, who moved apex court seeking clubbing of multiple FIRs registered against him in several states over his remarks, reports news agency ANI.

The top court has adjourned the plea for hearing on March 15.
