International pop star Rihanna has been embroiled in controversies over wearing a pendant of Lord Ganesha around her neck in a topless photoshoot. According to reports, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has filed a complaint against the CEO of Twitter in Delhi and Mumbai Police. VHP says that Rihanna has hurt the sentiments of Hindus by sharing such photos on Twitter. The council has also demanded suspension of Rihanna's Twitter account.
Rihanna had a photoshoot for a lingerie brand, in which she is posing topless. During this time, along with her jewelry, she has also carried the pendant of Lord Ganesha. A photo of this photoshoot was also shared by Rihanna on Twitter and Facebook on Tuesday.
Vinod Bansal, the national spokesperson of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, said, "Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have become a medium for anti-Hindu activities. Twitter and Facebook are not taking any action against those who hurt the sentiments of Hindus. So We have filed complaints against the CEO of both social media platforms in Mumbai and Delhi."
Vinod further said, "The IT ministry has also been requested to take action in this matter. Also demanded a suspension from Twitter to suspend Rihanna's Twitter account. If anti-Hindu activities on Facebook and Twitter are not stopped. Both of these social media platforms will be boycotted. "
