The Congress has lodged a complaint with the Dhar police to register FIR against former Union Minister VikramVerma, his wife, present MlA, Neena Verma, and local Pithampur BJP worker Sanjay Vaishnav for publishing an advertisement in a Hindi newspaper in which former Minister was portrayed as lord Ram, his wife was seen as Sita and the BJP worker was visible as lord Hanuman.
The president of Dhar district Congress Balmukund Singh Goutam and Congress leader Manoj Goutam with hundreds of congress workers in the form of rally reached at the Kotwali police station to register FIR against the ex-Minister Vikram Verma, MlA Dhar Neena Verma and Sanjay Vaishnav, CSP Vikram Singh took the application and told that a case will be registered after investigation.
He told that in the advertisement the leaders are portraying themselves as Hindu god which has hit the religious sentiments of Hindus.
In Uttar Pradesh in one such incident the party worker was terminated from the party. Ex-Cabinet Minister Vikram Verma should also terminate the BJP party worker who has given such type of advertisement and portrayed him and his wife as lord Ram and Mother Sita.
On the other hand besides congress party other social organization like Bharat Swabhiman trust, Patanjali Samiti gave a memorandum to the city magistrate on the name of Prime Minister and Chief Minister and requested that a stern action should be taken against the people who flame the religious sentiments of the people.
Vikram Verma in a statement said that he is not aware of such type of advertisement before publication and his permission has been not taken for this advertisement. An advocate in Khargone has also filed an appeal in judicial court against this advertisement.
CSP police Dhar Vikram Singh told The Pioneer that the technical investigation is on in this case. A congress man told that if someone portrays himself as policeman than police immediately arrest him but if someone is portraying himself as god and we are complaining still the police is not arresting the culprits.
