Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A case has been filed against the Congress working president of Madhya Pradesh Jitu Patwari for allegedly tweeting a doctored picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP claimed that the picture hurt the dignity of the PM and the religious sentiments of Hindus.
In the picture, posted by Mr. Patwari, the PM is seen wearing a mask and holding a bowl during the Bhumi Pujan ceremony of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on August 5.
Accompanying the image, there was a tweet in Hindi, that The Country’s business, economy, income, declining status of farmers, employment, jobs, labourers and their struggle are therefore subjected to television debates, because we will walk with the bowl.
Chhatripura Police Station in-charge Pawan Singhal said that Mr. Patwari has been booked under section 188 (disobedience to order issued by the public servant) and section 464 (making false electronic records) of Indian Penal Code (IPC) on the complaint registered by the city BJP President Gaurav Randavi.
Indore Lok Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) Mr. Shankar Lalwani and the local leaders expressed displeasure on the tweet and gave a memorandum and registered a complaint to DGP Harinarayanachari Mishra. They said that “Mr. Patwari has not only the dignity of the Prime Minister but also hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus”.
While Mr. Patwari, higher education Minister, and MLA fro Rau deleted the image later, but it didn’t stop the BJP leaders ridiculing him for spelling errors in his Hindi tweet.
The leaders from BJP said that Congress had made someone like Patwari, who can’t get Hindi spellings correct, as the states higher education Minister.
