‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 12’: FIR filed against Amitabh Bachchan and the makers for THIS reason

‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ season 12 started this September and as usual, every episode has been a nail-biting experience. But, the show has found itself in legal trouble as an FIR has been filed against host Amitabh Bachchan and its makers. This was all over a question that caused a lot of frenzy on social media.

Amitabh Bachchan had asked a question related to Manusmirti in the Karamveer episode. In that episode, we saw social activist Bezwada Wilson and actor Anoop Soni who came as a guest. The question for Rs 6,40,000 read as – 25 December 1927, Dr. BR Ambedkar and his followers burned copies of which scripture? And the options given were- a) Vishnu Purana, b) Bhagavad Gita, c) Rigdev, and d) Manusmriti.

After the question was answered, Big B giving insight about the historic event said, “In 1927, Dr. BR Ambedkar condemned the ancient Hindu text Manusmriti to ideologically justify caste discrimination and untouchability and he also burned copies of it.”

But, the question was not taken well by the netizens as many accused the show of running the “leftists propaganda” and “hurting Hindu sentiments”.

Abhimanyu Pawar, BJP legislator from Ausa in Latur district, in a complaint to Latur SP Nikhil Pingle said action should be taken against Big B and the makers of the show. Now, an FIR has been lodged against Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) and its host Amitabh Bachchan in Lucknow.

हिंदू धर्माशी निगडितच देण्यात आले.अशा कृतीतून हिंदू धर्मग्रंथ हे जाळण्यायोग्यच असल्याचा संदेश देण्याचा तसेच जवळपास १शतकापूर्वीची घटना चर्चेत आणून गुण्यागोविंदाने एकत्र राहणाऱ्या हिंदू व बौद्ध धर्मीयांमध्ये तेढ निर्माण करण्याचा आणि सामाजिक सलोखा बिघडवण्याचा खोडसाळ प्रयत्न लपून

दुखावत असतात.कौन बनेगा करोडपती या कार्यक्रमात विचारण्यात आलेला प्रश्न हा त्याच विघातक प्रयत्नांचा भाग असून दुर्लक्षित केला जाऊ शकत नाही.
लातूर पोलिस अधीक्षक यांच्याकडे मी लिखित तक्रार नोंदवली आहे.हा कार्यक्रम लातूर जिल्ह्यातही प्रसारित झाल्याने लातूर पोलिस गुन्हा नोंदवू शकतात
