out of India’s 36 states and union territories, Madhya Pradesh ranks 33
that is, number 4 from the bottom — not a very bright spot
MP contributes quiet a high number of mental cases too
42% of under 5 children have stunted growth or short height
people in some states are 3 times richer than people in MP
…
Dr. Narottam Mishra is Minister for Home Affairs,
he’s also Minister for Law and Legislative Affairs, and Prisons,
not to forget Parliamentary Affairs in Government of Madhya Pradesh
despite all these duties, he found time to watch Shweta Tiwari’s video
not only that but he utilized the remaining time by issuing an order:
“I have seen and heard Shweta Tiwari’s statement. I condemn it. I have instructed Bhopal Police Commissioner to investigate and submit a report to me soon. Action will be taken after that.”
Mishra was referring to things Tiwari said during the promotion
she was onstage promoting her web series with her costars
about Sourabh Raaj Jain, who had played Hindu lords, she said:
“Bhagwan se sidhe brafitter, matlab jump to dekho.” “Meri bra ka size Bhagwan le rahe hain.”
“Straight from God to bra-fitter. Just look at the jump.” “God is taking measurment of my brasize.”
many websites are just playing the following sentence:
“God is taking measurment of my brasize.”
which is totally out of context as actor Salil Acharya clarifies:
“I was on stage with Shweta when this happened. I was asking a question to actor Sourabh Raaj Jain who plays a bra fitter in the web series.”
(see Salil Acharya in the above video)
a police FIR (First Information Report) has been issued against Tiwari
The case was registered under IPC section 295(A) at the Shyamla Hills police station in Bhopal. Section 295(A) caters to “deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.”
(Bhagwan is one of the words Hindus use when referring to God
so the religious feelings mentioned above are those of Hindus)
in the wake of FIR and vulgar criticism from Hindu zealots and others
including minister Mishra, who belongs to Hindu nationalist Modi’s BJP
whatever Shweta said was in a joking manner
there was nothing insulting or derogatory in any manner
however, Shweta was forced to issue a statement:
“When put in context, one will understand that the statement in reference to ‘Bhagwan’ was in context with Sourabh Raj Jain’s popular role of a deity. People associate character names with actors and hence, I used that as an example during my conversation with the media.”
“However, it has been completely misconstrued which is saddening to see. As someone who has been a staunch believer in ‘Bhagwan’ myself, there is no way that I would intentionally or unintentionally hurt feelings of people.”
“Please be assured that it has never been my intention to hurt anyone, with my words or actions. Hence, I would humbly apologise for the hurt my statement has unintentionally caused to a lot of people.”
Bhagwan or God can’t be a brafitter but can be a murderer
of course, Bhagwan can murder & torture people fanatics dislike
such as Dalits, Muslims, Christians, liberals, atheists, …
