Complaint filed against Prashant Bhushan for Controversial remark on Lord Krishan

TIL Desk/Lucknow/New Delhi/ Lawyer-politician Prashant Bhushan’s controversial remarks on Lord Krishna have put him in trouble. Separate police complaints were filed against Bhushan by Delhi BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Bagga in the national capital and UP Congress spokesperson Zeeshan Haidar in Lucknow.

Manzil Saini, the Senior Superintendent of Police of Lucknow, said that they have registered an FIR against Bhushan under IPC sections related to hurting religious feelings and promoting enmity between different groups.

On Sunday, Bhushan had posted a tweet criticising the ‘anti-Romeo’ drive in Uttar Pradesh.”Romeo loved just one lady, while Krishna was a legendary Eve teaser. Would (UP CM Yogi) Adityanath have the guts to call his vigilantes Anti-Krishna squads?” Bhushan tweeted.

As the controversy erupted, he tried to control damage by tweeting that his remarks had been distorted and he had no intention of hurting religious sentiments. “My tweet on Romeo brigade being distorted. My position is: By the logic of Romeo Brigade, even Lord Krishna would look like eve teaser.” “We have grown up with legends of young Krishna teasing Gopis. The logic of Romeo squad would criminalise this. Didn’t intend to hurt sentiments,” he added in another tweet.
