Fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee retracted his label's advertisement campaign of a Mangalsutra collection stating that he was "deeply saddened" that the advertisement campaign "offended" a section of the society.
“Sabyasachi Mukherjee has withdrawn the objectionable advertisement after my post. If he repeats such a thing, then direct action will be taken, no warning will be given. I appeal to him and those like him to not hurt sentiments of people,” Madhya Pradesh Home Minister said.
The BJP-Maharashtra Palghar district legal advisor Ashutosh Dubey claimed the Sabyasachi ad 'hurt religious sentiments' by featuring 'semi-naked models' in it.
