Udupi, Jan 6: An FIR has been filed against socio-spiritual influencer Meenakshi Shehrawat and event organiser for derogatory remarks made against Mahatma Gandhi.
Shehrawat, during a programme in Udupi on Saturday, January 4, had commented, “Gandhiji has been the reason for the birth of Pakistan along with Jinnah, so we will not consider him the father of the nation. For some reason, Shivaji Maharaj's Shiva Bhavani poem was banned just for 20% of the people, the Hindustani language was imposed on 80%, and Lord Sri Ramachandra was called Badshah Sri Ramachandra and Mata Sita as Begum Sita in Hindustani.
"Jinnah was referred to as Mr Jinnah. Vande Mataram was stopped for 20% of people. By promoting Ahimsa as Paramodharma, we are making our Hindus eunuchs. As many as 20 lac Hindus were killed in the name of non-violence, so we will never accept Gandhiji as the father of the nation,” she commented.
A suo motu complaint has been registered against Shehrawat and the event organiser at the Udupi town police station.
