Netizens

sentiments.
Similarly,

after
many
noticed
a
kissing
scene
between
the
two
protagonists
in
a
temple

Mira
Nair's
show

Suitable
Boy.
Some
Twitter
users
have
even
approached
law
enforcement
agencies
to
take
the
matter
into
their
own
hands.
The
scene
that
caused
outrage
on
social
media
shows
Tanya
Maniktala's
Lata
Mehra
who
is
a
Hindu
and
Kabir
Durrani's
Danesh
Razvi
who
is
Muslim,
kissing
in
a
temple
while
Ram
aarti
can
be
heard
in
the
background.
Now,
Bharatiya
Janata
Party
spokesperson
Gaurav
Goel
has
also
joined
the
'Boycott
Netflix'
trend
on
Twitter.
He
also
opened
up
about
the
scene,
without
naming
A
Suitable
Boy,
he
called
out
the
OTT
platform
and
added
that
Netflix
is
'deliberately
insulting'
Hindu
Gods
and
Goddesses.
Goel
also
said
that
a
complaint
should
be
filed
with
the
police
or
local
court
under
Section
295A
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code.
Offering
them
all
support,
he
wrote

take
care
of
such
offenders.'
Actor
and
TV
personality
Rahul
Mahajan
was
another
prominent
personality
that
expressed
his
displeasure
over
the
scene.
He
wrote
on
Twitter,
"A
Muslim
man
kissing
a
Hindu
woman
during
the
Ram
Aarti
was
'creative
freedom'.
But
when
a
Hindu
man
and
Muslim
women
would
kiss
in
a
mosque
during
Azaan,
this
creative
freedom
would
go
missing."
Here
are
some
more
tweets,

delibrately
insulting

Hindu
Gods
