UP deputy CM booked in Bihar for ‘hurting religious sentiments’

Patna, June 2 : A case was lodged against Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma in Bihar’s Sitamarhi district on Saturday for allegedly insulting Sita by claiming “she was the first test-tube baby of India”.
Chandan Kumar Singh, an advocate, filed the case in the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court. It will be heard on June 8.
The petitioner said Sharma had not only hurt people’s religious sentiments but also insulted the country’s rich heritage, culture and tradition.
“Sharma’s statement is part of a well-planned political and criminal conspiracy to hurt and insult sentiments of a particular religion,” he said, adding that the BJP leader’s illogical concept would make Hindu religion the butt of ridicule.
Sharma, who had once equated “jets and aeroplanes” with “Pushpak Viman” during Vedic times, had allegedly claimed that Sita, the wife of Lord Rama, was in fact the first test tube baby of India.
