As per Tiwari's complaint, the show has a scene where a Hindu woman and a man belonging to the Muslim community share a kiss at a temple. In a tweet, he added that the show promotes 'love jihad'.

"Netflix is promoting love jihad," Tiwari said in a tweet in Hindi.

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra, meanwhile, said, "I have instructed authorities to check what legal action can be taken against these scenes on the Netflix OTT platform and the producer-director of the series".




Mishra had earlier announced that the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government in Madhya Pradesh is mulling to bring a law against ‘love jihad’.

On the other hand, BJP spokesperson and advocate Gaurav Goel also called for an FIR to be lodged against Netflix.

"If any OTT platform is deliberately insulting the Hindu Gods & Goddess, pls file the complaint with the police or local court under Section 295A of IPC. The law will take care of such offenders. In case of any assistance, you can contact me or @chakusameer," he tweeted.

A Suitable Boy is Mira Nair’s TV adaptation of Vikram Seth’s novel A Suitable Boy which released on Netflix on October 23. Ishaan Khatter, Tabu, Tanya Maniktala and Rasika Dugal are seen in pivotal roles in the series. The six-episode series is set in the backdrop of newly independent India (1951) and is about a few families and their efforts to arrange the marriage of their daughter to a suitable boy.

Where was thus insecure love Jihad when Kareena Kapoor has a softcore scene with Saif Ali Khan?

Kareena Kapoor did NOT convert to islam to marry saif.

Love Jihad = Religious targeting of Kafir woman for conversion.

FIR filed against Netflix series ‘A suitable boy’ for hurting Hindu sentiments by filming multiple kissing scenes in temples

"Can you shoot such scenes during Azaan at a mosque ? Do you have such creative freedom? Don't mistake the tolerance of Hindus as their weakness", BJP leader Gaurav Tiwari said

A month after controversial Netflix series ‘A Suitable Boy’ was released, BJP leader Gaurav Tiwari has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the video-streaming platform for the show. Tiwari is the National Secretary of the BJYM (Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha). The series, based on a novel by Vikram Seth was released on Netflix on October 23.

In a series of tweets, the BJP leader had confirmed the development. He stated, “In the web series of ‘A Suitable Boy’, Netflix has shown three kissing scenes, in one episode, taking place within the temple premises.” He inquired, “As per the story, a Muslim man is in love with a Hindu woman. But, why were all kissing scenes shot within the temple premises (and not mosque).” Gaurav Tiwari informed that he had filed an FIR in this case at Rewa, Madhya Pradesh.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1330143894206550018

While speaking to reporters, Tiwari reiterated that his objection was not to the kissing scenes but the act being shot in the temple, with Aarti happening in the background. He questioned, “Can you shoot such scenes during Azaan at a mosque? Do you have such creative freedom? Don’t mistake the tolerance of Hindus as their weakness. This is not just an insult to Madhya Pradesh but to the sentiments of Lord Shiva and his crores of devotees. You need to apologise.”

https://twitter.com/x/status/1330144238554779656

“Rani Aliyabai Holkar had dedicated the Maheshwar ghat for Shiv bhakts. 1000s of Shivlings from Pashan Yug is its identity,” he stated. Gaurav Tiwari had also slammed Netflix for using the religious site for promoting ‘love jihad’ and hurting Hindu sentiments. “I am uninstalling Netflix from my phone, are you?” he asked.

Hinduphobia of A Suitable Boy

Critical reviews of the show have pointed towards the Hinduphobic overtones of the series. Lata and Kabir share a passionate kiss in temple premises. Characters are shown repeatedly walking around in shoes and sandals near Hindu sacred idols and holy trees. There are many other such examples in the show. Needless to say, ‘A Suitable Boy’ follows all secular tropes very religiously.

As per the series, a good Hindu is a non-religious one, or religiously indifferent, at best. A religious Hindu is always uncivilized or regressive and a Muslim – religious or otherwise – is mostly reasonable and understanding. Most important of all, a Muslim is always a victim – of Hindus or his/her circumstances.
