Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Sunday warned actor Sunny Leone and singers Shaarib and Toshi to apologise and withdraw their music video ‘Madhuban mein Radhika, jaise jungle me nache mor’ within three days or else face action.
The Minister alleged that the video hurts the religious sentiments of Hindus.
“Some vidharmis are constantly hurting Hindu sentiments. The video ‘Madhuban me Radhika nache’ is one such condemnable attempt. I am warning Sunny Leone ji, Shaarib and Toshi ji to understand. If they don’t remove the song after apologising in three days, then we will take action against them,” the Minister said.
Mr. Mishra, who is also the Madhya Pradesh government spokesperson, said Hindus worship Maa Radha and the song has hurt the sentiments of the people.
On December 22, Leone had tweeted, “New Song Alert, Party Vibes only with #Madhuban!”, while sharing the video of the song..
On Saturday, priests in Mathura had demanded a ban on this latest video album of Sunny Leone, accusing the Bollywood actor of hurting their religious sentiments by performing an ‘obscene’ dance on the song ‘Madhuban mein Radhika nache’.
In October this year, Mr. Mishra had issued a 24-hour ultimatum to fashion and jewellery designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee to withdraw an advertisement with ‘objectionable and obscene’ portrayal of mangalsutra or else face statutory action. The designer had later withdrawn this advertisement.
