Anti-Romeo squad: Complaint against Prashant Bhushan for controversial remark on Lord Krishna
Media reports say two police complaints have been lodged against senior lawyer and politician for his controversial statement on Lord Krishna.
New Delhi, April 3: Two police complaints were filed against senior lawyer and Swaraj Abhiyan leader Prashant Bhushan for his alleged 'derogatory' remarks against Hindu god Lord Krishna in the context of anti-Romeo squads on Sunday.
While one complaint was filed by Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson in Delhi Tajinder Bagga, the second was filed by Congress spokesperson in Uttar Pradesh Zishan Haider.
Thus along with the Congress, the BJP and several social media users, many took offence of Bhushan's remarks against Lord Krishna on Twitter. Those who criticised Bhushan's remarks said that he has hurt religious sentiments of Hindus.
This is what Bhushan had tweeted:
Romeo loved just one lady,while Krishna was a legendary Eve teaser.Would Adityanath have the guts to call his vigilantes AntiKrishna squads? https://t.co/IYslpP0ECv

However, Bhushan issued a clarification after he was slammed on Twitter for his remarks.
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.Didnt intend to hunt sentiments

The anti-Romeo squads have been started by the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh recently to punish eve-teasers, stalkers and molesters. The latest drive to provide safety to women in the state has created a nationwide debate. While many have welcomed the step undertaken by Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi, others say it is moral policing. The formation of the anti-Romeo squad is a poll promise made by the BJP in its manifesto for the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
