The Bharatiya Janata Party took action against two of its own leaders for making disparaging comments about the Prophet Muhammad. Nupur Sharma was banned from the party for 6 years while Naveen Jindal was banned from the party. Qatar, Iran and Kuwait are said to have summoned the Indian ambassadors and raised objections in relation to derogatory comments about the Prophet. Filmmaker Vinod Kapri has investigated this.
Filmmaker Vinod Kapri wrote on Twitter that when India’s national ruling party, Gully Chhap, makes the people their mouthpiece. Is this the India you want Narendra Modi? Is this how he will become Vishwa Guru?’ Along with this, Vinod Kapri has also shared a photo objecting to Naveen Jindal’s controversial tweet.
People’s reactions: Prem Kumar Bablu wrote that ‘Vinod ji, the road raiding people do nothing without the consent of the top leaders! Such incidents are the first page in the script for the 2024 Lok Sabha general election. Ratnakar Yadav wrote that ‘Vish has become a guru, Vishwa Guru has become -bante’.
A user named Manush wrote that ‘except BJP, all parties have doctorates and educated spokespersons. A user named Ayan wrote that ‘Where do these RSS people make their story and who gave them the right to bad mouth?’ Mayur Pandey wrote that “when indecent comments were made about Hindus, gods and goddesses, no one said anything”.
One user mocked PM Modi and wrote that ‘If you haven’t followed Jindal, please do so immediately Modi ji. This man has all the qualifications to become president. Vikas Yadav wrote: ‘Kapri ji, what about the dirty joke played on Shivling? In that scenario, you and the whole gang make fun of Lord Shiva.
We reported that on the controversy over the Napur Sharma declaration, BJP General Secretary Arun Singh tweeted and said that such an idea is not acceptable to the party, which hurts the feelings of any religion or sect. After this, BJP decided to kick out Naveen Jindal and suspend Nupur Sharma.
