Bengaluru: A day after a sedition case was slammed on Congress leader Divya Spandana in Lucknow for a derogatory post on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she reiterated her post on Thursday.
“Thank you, guys, for extending your support. And for those who didn’t like the tweet, what can I say? Will keep it ‘classy’ next time. India should do away with the sedition law. It’s archaic and misused. To the folks who filed the FIR — #PMChorHai,” she tweeted.
The earlier tweet posted by the actor-turned-politician was a photoshopped image of PM Modi painting the word ‘chor’ (thief) on the forehead of his wax statue. It also bore the hashtag: #ChorPMChup Hai.
Following this, a lawyer and social activist named one Syed Rizvan Ahmed filed a complaint with the Lucknow police alleging her of defaming a democratically elected leader.
Thanking the Uttar Pradesh police for registering his complaint, Ahmed tweeted that PM Modi and his team should be more active in stopping those who abuse them.
“Her tweet was derogatory. The PM represents our sovereignty and republic. It is a disgrace to our nation and is a contempt. An FIR has been registered,” ANI quoted Ahmed as saying.
