Prashant Bhushan told National Herald on Monday that, “I lodged a complaint because she has been constantly tweeting false, communal, hateful and violence-inciting tweets, which are serious offences under the Indian Penal Code. Unfortunately, while the police is quick to act against persons who deride the Prime Minister by cartoons, it does not do anything against persons who are committing serious offences against the IPC by inciting communal hatred and violence. Cartoons deriding the PM are certainly not acts of sedition but Madhu Kishwar’s tweets are certainly offensive.

She has been a serial offender in this regard. A complaint should have been lodged against her earlier. There are many people who put out such tweets but we should go after the ring-leaders. She is one of the ring leaders of this gang of trolls who are involved in such communal offences,” said the incensed lawyer.
