Lord Shiv
Social media platform Instagram has been sued for showing Lord Shiva in an objectionable manner through its sticker feature. The complaint has been filed by Delhi based resident Manish Singh. The sticker presents Lord Shiva with alcohol in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. The sticker was in a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) where Lord Shiva is also seen winking. The complainant alleges that this hurts the religious sentiments of the Hindu community.
He also states that Lord Shiva is worshipped by millions of Hindus and accuses Instagram officials of committing serious offences. He says that the “accused is deliberately and intentionally hurting the feeling and sentiments of the millions and millions of Hindus, including the complainant, by portraying the Supreme God, Lord Shiva, in such a state.”
