They raised slogans against the YouTubers and comedians and submitted a memorandum to the TT Nagar police station of Bhopal demanding registration of an FIR.
Sanskriti Bachao Manch president Chandrashekhar Tiwari said, “A video of Ranveer Allahabadia and Samay Raina is going viral, in which an attempt has been made to insult Indian culture, civilization in the name of standup comedy. I do not want to dirty my mouth by repeating that comment. India is known for its culture and civilization.
Those who will try to erase that identity, Sanskriti Bachao Manch will not tolerate it. We have come here to submit a memorandum to the police and demand to register an FIR against them.” Chandrashekhar Tiwari demanded the police to register an FIR in this regard and immediately arrest both the accused. Tiwari has also demanded the central government to ban such OTT platforms and take strict action against them by bringing them under government control.
