Hindus are among the most tolerant lot and, perhaps, this is why a section of the socialist-liberal-secular-intellectual brigade of this country finds it very easy to make fun of Hinduism and Hindu gods.
Rabid Leftists from the Left-groups in colleges, universities or political spheres often insult Hinduism and, subsequently, India. Given the fact that Leftists in India and abroad are sleeping in bed with the Islamists, it is expected of them to make anti-national and anti-Hindu remarks.
What is shocking is when the kind of statements made by Leftist radicals come from the mouths of those who the society sees as well-educated individuals. This is why lawyer and politician Prashant Bhushan’s remark on Lord Krishna is making headlines.
Reacting to a comment on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s anti-Romeo squad, Bhushan tweeted:
Romeo loved just one lady,while Krishna was a legendary Eve teaser.Would Adityanath have the guts to call his vigilantes AntiKrishna squads? https://t.co/IYslpP0ECv

Bhushan’s tweet was in response to and in support of the tweet posted by Anupam, the spokesperson of Yogendra Yadav’s new political party Swaraj India.
Anti Romeo Squad: India’s tribute to Shakespeare! Won’t b surprised if England, to fight eveteasing, forms Anti Krishn Squad in retaliation!

@pbhushan1 जब हम अपने आप को कथित बुद्धिजीवी मानते हैं तब हमें इस तरह के उदाहरण कहने से पहले थोड़ी समझदारी दिखानी चाहिए या नही ?

@pbhushan1 If you have guts, make similar statement about revered figure of any other religion. U guys keep abusing Hinduism, still cry of intolerance.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reprimanded Bhushan for the remark.
कृष्ण को समझ ने में कई जन्म लेने पड़ेंगे।
कितने आसानी से कृष्ण को राजनीति में घसीट लाए।
दुःख की बात है। https://t.co/iYk5YkOqq1— Sambit Patra (@sambitswaraj) April 2, 2017
“Bhushan should first study India’s tradition and mythology and then make such comments,” BJP leader Bhupendra Yadav was quoted as saying.
Following the anger over his comment, Bhushan tried to defend himself with the following tweets:
My tweet on Romeo brigade being distorted. My position is: By the logic of Romeo Brigade, even Lord Krishna would look like eve teaser.
— Prashant Bhushan (@pbhushan1) April 2, 2017
We have grown up with legends of young Krishna teasing Gopis.The logic of Romeo squad would criminalise this.Didnt intend to hunt sentiments
— Prashant Bhushan (@pbhushan1) April 2, 2017
Yet his so-called “logic” too was destroyed by Twitter users:

It seems that you have lost your senses. It is shameful on your part to compare Lord Krishna with senseless lads.— PS Kalra (@pskalra03) April 2, 2017
