BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma has revealed that she is considering suing AAP sympathizer Dr Syed Asad Abbas for his sexist abuses following which the hashtag #WeStandWithNupurSharma is trending on Twitter.
'Bhumi Pujan' ceremony of Ram Mandir will be held at Ayodhya on August 5. Congress supporter Saket Gokhale filed a petition at Allahabad High Court, seeking a stay on the ceremony during the coronavirus pandemic. In his petition, he stated that it would be a violation of 'Unlock 2' guidelines. On Friday, the Court quashed his plea, saying that the entire petition was filed on the basis of assumptions.
TV panelist Dr Syed Asad Abbas used abusive language at BJP national spokesperson Nupur Sharma during a Television debate on the rejection of the petition against 'Bhumi Pujan' ceremony of Ram Mandir. The AAP sympathizer went on to call her Ekta Kapoor Vamp at some point in time. Nupur Sharma took to her Twitter page to slam him after the debate got over.
Nupur Sharma tweeted, "Vamp, gunda, rowdie, Balaji actress, lost all sensibilities, suffering from verbal diarrhoea & what not- just because I give factual arguments? I've come to realise just how sexist, badly brought-up & hateful these ignorant opposition panelists are. But thats why they are losers."
The BJP leader added, "I give back as good as I get. No place for playing victim. But in public life bringing in a woman's physical appearance or gender and thereby hurling abuses of sexual color - JUST #NOTDONE."
Later, Nupur Sharma revealed that she is planning to take legal action against Syed Asad Abbas. The BJP leader tweeted, "I'm considering suing him for this. My family, obviously, has taken extreme exception to this abuse. You CANNOT bring into question a woman's character. It's a lesson he'll remember all his life. #NotDone."
Nupur Sharma added, "Just had a detailed discussion wid @ishkarnBHANDARI about MC Abbas's vile abuses & character assassination directed at me on 10 PM @republic debate dt 24/7/20 We're examining various legal options available to us Character attacks to silence woman defending #RamMandir wont work."
Along with some BJP leaders, many Twitterati condemned Dr Syed Asad Abbas and called his party Anti Aurat Party. They also extended support to Nupur Sharma with the hashtag #WeStandWithNupurSharma.
Here are some of their tweets supporting Nupur Sharma:
