Section 295 A deals with any ‘deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious belief.’
1. What Matondkar said
)
Urmila Matondkar, who recently wondered why people were wondering about her religion, said that Hinduism had become the ‘most violent (religion) of them all’.
Speaking during a news interview, Urmila Matondkar said that under the Modi government the ‘religion which has been known for its religious tolerance has turned out to be most violent of them all’.
She said: "The religion which has been known for its religion tolerance has turned out to be the most violent religion of them all. What is sad is that this sort of terribly heinous actos have been applauded and are constantly going viral. People are made to believe this is how the society always was."
The actor who joined Congress said that nation was ruled by a ‘kind of dictatorship’, heading in a ‘state of anarchy’ with no freedom of any sort.

That @OfficialUrmila video of calling Hinduism the most violent religion has spread like wildfire on WhatsApp. All my groups have shared it. Even constituency specific groups have.

The worst part is not that Urmila or Sam Pitroda make such statements. Even after they've said this no one from the Congress even bothers to clarify. As if the Congress openly agrees that Hinduism is the most violent religion and all Indians are monkeys.

If Hinduism has now become the most violent religion then which religion was the most violent before it ? Wondering if someone from our neutral media is going to ask this question to Urmila..
