Navabi, the founder of the Atheist Republic has publicized the picture a Goddess Kali on Twitter on Thursday with the caption, “Okay! I’m in love with Hinduism. I never knew you had sexy goddesses like these. Why would anyone pick any other religion?”.
The VHP leader Tweeted slamming Twitter for allowing “such posts” and “not taking action” against such account holders. In his Tweet, that included a photo of the complaint, the leader tagged the accounts of both the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

Bansal’s complaint stated that “He used derogatory words with posting image of Goddess Kali which deeply hurts my religious sentiments…. His posting on the Twitter account is not acceptable at all as his posting has deeply hurt Hindus spiritual sentiments around the world including Hindus residing in India,”
“We request you to arrange to book Twitter India for allowing such posts and not taking action against such account holders. Also, Twitter must have a policy of filtering the messages which are against religion and a state,” the latter part of the complaint read.
According to VHP Chief, the intention behind the post was to create unrest in the society as well as to disturb peace and harmony OF THE HINDUS. He states his complaint “The image he has posted is published on Twitter, a social media platform and hence the officers of Twitter are equally liable for punishment of the above-mentioned provisions.”
