Lawyer and political activist Shehzad Poonawalla lodged a complaint against Ram Gopal Verma for his offensive tweet. “It hurts everyone’s sentiments, I have lodged a complaint against Ram Gopal Verma to the Delhi Police and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).”
Meanwhile, Congress leader Rashid Alvi said that Ramu has hurt the religious sentiments of many people with this statement. “Ram Gopal Verma’s tweet is condemnable. This is a secular country and one should always respect others religious feelings. He has hurt the religious sentiments of many people by giving this statement.”

Filmmaker Ashok Pandit also criticised Verma and said that the Maharashtra government should take strict action against him. “An educated man, a great filmmaker like him is doing this, he is abusing and has chosen to write such statements on the day when everyone is celebrating the occasion. The entire nation knows about that he is an insensitive man. He went for a recee in Taj hotel for his film when the entire nation was mourning the death of people in 26/11 attacks.”

Well we do hope the Filmmaker realizes his mistakes .
