Meanwhile, MP Assembly’s protem Speaker Rameshwar Sharma also urged Javadekar to ban “Tandav” web series and said various organisations and individuals have opposed it as it allegedly ridiculed the Hindu deities.
“There should be a law in the country to stop the efforts to mock Hindu deities on such OTT platforms. Why people do not dare to mock other religions? Why are Hindu deities ridiculed every time? This web series should be banned,” news agency PTI quoted Sharma as saying.
