Prashant Bhushan calls Krishna ‘legendary eve-teaser’

New Delhi, April 2
BJP spokesperson Tajinder Bagga on Sunday filed a complaint against senior lawyer and former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Prashant Bhushan for his ‘derogatory’ tweet against Lord Krishna.
Social activist Bhushan today tweeted that, “Romeo loved just one lady, while Krishna was a legendary Eve teaser. Would Adityanath have the guts to call his vigilantes AntiKrishna squads?”

Speaking to ANI, Bagga said it is Bhushan’s habit to make these kinds of statements for cheap publicity.
“This is not the first time that he has given these kinds of statements. At times he says Kashmir should be given to Pakistan and at times he gives statements on Bharatiya Sena and then at times he says the Bharatiya Sena rapes. Then he alleges that the Bharatiya Sena thrashes the innocents,” he added.
Bagga said in his police complaint, he has mentioned that Bhushan has hurt religious sentiments and demanded a probe in this regard.
Echoing similar sentiments, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said crores of Indians are hurt today by Bhushan’s statement, adding that the latter must tender an apology.
“It is very unfortunate. Today, crores of Indians are hurt by the usage of words Prashant Bhushan ji has used for Lord Krishna. You will perceive God the way your mentality directs you to. I am hurt to see such an eminent lawyer saw such a thing in Lord Krishna. He should apologise,” he told ANI.
In later tweets, Bhushan said his statement was being distorted.
My tweet on Romeo brigade being distorted. My position is: By the logic of Romeo Brigade, even Lord Krishna would look like eve teaser,” he said.
“We have grown up with legends of young Krishna teasing Gopis. The logic of Romeo squad would criminalise this. Didnt intend to hunt sentiments,” he wrote in another tweet.
