Nupur Sharma News: Recently suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma has been summoned by Thane Police on June 22 over a controversial remark which she directed at Prophet Mohammad. The Mumbra police had summoned him through mail and post. Apart from Mumbra, a case has also been registered against him at Pydhonie Police Station in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police provided security for Sharma and his family after an FIR was lodged on a complaint that they were receiving death threats over his controversial remarks.
The BJP on Sunday suspended Sharma and expelled Delhi unit’s media chief Naveen Kumar Jindal as a controversy erupted with protests from some Muslim countries over his alleged derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammad.
Amid protests by Muslim groups and a sharp reaction from countries such as Kuwait, Qatar and Iran, the BJP issued a statement saying it respected all religions and strongly condemned the insult of any religious personality.
Sharma’s comments during a TV debate about 10 days ago and Jindal’s now deleted tweets triggered a Twitter trend calling for boycott of Indian products in some countries.
