ramcharitmanas controversy

Former Bihar CM Jitan Ram Manjhi objected to some lines in the Hindu epic Ramcharitmanas

The FIR has been filed under various sections of the IPC under section 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 142 & 143 (being member of unlawful assembly), 153-A (promoting enmity between groups on grounds of religion) and other serious IPC in Lucknow’s PGI police station.

Akhilesh says his party is not against Lord Ram or the Ramcharitmanas even as senior leaders of his party demand ban certain verses of the text.
