The BJP's legal cell has filed a formal complaint against Jnanpeeth Award-winner and Marathi author Bhalchandra Nemade. This was in response to Nemade's speech at the concluding ceremony of the 125th anniversary of the Mumbai Marathi Granth Sangharahalay in Dadar on Saturday.
Adv. Ashutosh Dubey, Head of the social media- legal and advisory cell of the BJP, submitted the complaint to the Bhoiwada Police Station on Monday. In the complaint, Dubey stated that Nemade had made false and derogatory statements at the event. He has called for action against Nemade under section 295A of the Indian Penal Code.
Dubey pointed out that the freedom of speech in India is subject to reasonable restrictions. This is to maintain public order and harmony. Since the YouTube link to Nemade's speech went viral over social media, Dubey believes it is necessary to take strict action against him.
Nemade had allegedly said that Mughal king Aurangzeb had razed the temple of Kashi Vishwanath because the priests had molested two of his Hindu queens. He also said that it was Aurangzeb who had stopped the practice of sati first, before Lord Bentick. Nemade claimed that Aurangzeb realized that the Pandits of the place were corrupting young women by taking them through underground routes.
The complaint filed by the BJP's legal cell is yet another example of their commitment to ensure public order and harmony in the country. It is essential to take strict action against those who incite hatred and disturb social harmony.
