Journalist Dilip Mandal shares obscene tweet on Sri Saraswati Devi

Demand for his arrest gaining momentum on social media.

There are no stringent laws to prohibit such activities in our country. This encourages anti-nationals. The central government ruled by the BJP must pass strong anti-blasphemy laws.

New Delhi – Journalist Dilip Mandal posted an obscene tweet about Sri Saraswati Devi on Basant Panchami. People have demanded his immediate arrest.

सरस्वती को मैं शिक्षा की देवी नहीं मानता। उन्होंने न कोई स्कूल खोला, न कोई किताब लिखी। ये दोनों काम माता सावित्रीबाई फुले ने किए। फिर भी मैं सरस्वती के साथ हूँ। ब्रह्मा ने उनका जो यौन उत्पीड़न किया, वह जघन्य है। – संदर्भ Phule J. , Slavery(1991), Govt of Maharashtra Publication pic.twitter.com/r0iTXfi02a

Dilip Mandal in a series of tweets in English and Hindi wrote, ‘I do not regard Saraswati the goddess of knowledge. She neither opened a school nor wrote a book. What is her contribution to the field of education? For me, Mata Savitribai Phule and Fatima Sheikh were the eternal torch bearers of education. Still I stand with Saraswati, as she was sexually exploited by Brahma’. Reference- Phule, Jyotiba. Slavery (1991) Published by Government of Maharashtra.

Our intention underlying the publishing these images/videos is not to hurt anybody’s religious sentiments, but to make readers understand the denigration carried out by anti-Hindus.
