The Anti-Romeo squads formed by the newly elected CM of UP Yogi Adityanath, has already created enough controversies on social media. These Anti-Romeo squads have been formed to keep eve teasing cases in control; they are doing a great job and they certainly deserve appreciation for the same.
However, there’s one person, who tried to defame these squads, but got thrashed because he wrongly linked them to Lord Krishna, thereby hurting the sentiments of Hindus. We are talking about Prashant Bhushan, a lawyer, activist, and founder of Swaraj Abhiyan (A new political party).
Here’s what he tweeted;
https://twitter.com/pbhushan1/status/848362262913875968
Basically, he supported the tweet of Anupam, the spokesperson of Swaraj India.
The tweet read, “Romeo loved just one lady,while Krishna was a legendary Eve teaser.Would Adityanath have the guts to call his vigilantes AntiKrishna squads?”.
He referred to Lord Krishna as an eve-teaser, and this made everyone furious. This tweet wasn’t taken lightly; BJP immediately filed a complaint against him. Basically, Prashant Bhushan was trying to compare Romeo (molesters) to Lord Krishna, but he certainly failed to realize that he’s digging his own grave in this process.
His tweet received massive shares and replies, and Twitterati thrashed him for his wrong choice of words. This wasn’t going to be taken casually.
Bhushan’s derogatory remark against Lord Krishna put him in a big mess. He tried to make his stand clear by explaining that it was not for insulting the Lord, but just for criticizing the government’s action. Have a look at his clarifications;
My tweet on Romeo brigade being distorted. My position is: By the logic of Romeo Brigade, even Lord Krishna would look like eve teaser.

Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, the BJP spokesperson for Delhi, took to Twitter to declare that a police complaint has been filed against Prashant Bhushan for his insulting comment. Here’s what he tweeted…
Filing A police complaint today against Prashant Bhushan for insulting Lord Krishna https://t.co/JCCdkpbGsa

Here’s the copy of that complaint;
Now, Bagga says that the complaint will be withdrawn only if Bhushan renders an apology. He further added that Bhushan has passed such filthy statements in the past too, but his recent statement has hurt millions.
Apart from Bagga, there were many others who criticized Prashant Bhushan for his remarks. Check out the tweets!
