Many people in India demand boycott of online streaming website Netflix. #BoycottNetflix has been the top trend on Twitter for many hours. The reason for this is some scenes in a series of Netflix ‘A Suitable Boy’, which are being objected.
It is being said that in a scene of this program, a boy and a girl are kissing in the temple premises and bhajans are going on behind.
The objection is also being raised that according to the script of the program, a Hindu woman loves a Muslim youth.
The hashtag boycotting Netflix with over 1.3 lakh tweets was trending at the top of Twitter in India.
A Twitter user named Gaurav Tiwari claims that he has filed an FIR in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh on this matter. Prime Minister Narendra Modi follows Gaurav Tiwari on Twitter.
Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra has described these alleged objectionable scenes as hurting the sentiments of a particular religion and has issued instructions to police officers to investigate this controversial content.
Releasing a video on his Twitter account, Narottam Mishra said, “A suitable boy” program has been released on an OTT media platform, which I consider offensive.
A person inside a temple is filming kissing scenes and Bhajan is going on like this. I have done this two or three times in a row. I think that hurts the sentiments. I have instructed the officials to test it. What is the purpose of this program on OTT platform? ,
It has restarted the old theme. What action can be taken on the producer director. After examining all these points, let me know immediately
