The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has raised concerns about false posts on two websites, Indic Tales and Hindu Post, which they claim are maligning the renowned social reformer Savitribai Phule. A delegation from the NCP, including Ajit Pawar, Jayant Patil, Chhagan Bhujbal, and Sunil Tatkare, has requested police intervention in the matter, stated reports.
Chhagan Bhujbal, who has written to the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, asserted that these websites are publishing derogatory content that tarnishes the legacy of Savitribai Phule.
Chhagan Bhujbal, expressing his outrage, highlighted that the websites are spreading false information and demeaning Savitribai Phule’s contributions. He drew attention to an article on Indic Tales that suggests the British sponsored Savitribai Phule’s school and insinuates that Indian women were sexually exploited by British soldiers, stated a News18 report.
Bhujbal firmly condemned these claims and labelled them as an insult to Savitribai Phule’s legacy. He emphasized the need for swift action to address this attempt to malign her reputation and urged the state government to ban the websites.
