Why Arrest Sunny Leone is trending
Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra had warned actress Sunny Leone and singer of the song to apologize for the video and remove the video within three days or else be ready for action.
"Some heretics are continuously hurting Hindu sentiments. The video 'Radhika Nache in Madhuban' is one such condemnable attempt. I am warning Sunny Leone ji, Sharib and Toshi ji to understand. If they apologize in three days, If we don't remove the song, we will take action against them," said Narottam Mishra, when reporters asked him about actor Sunny Leone's latest video, which sparked controversy in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The song is sung by singer Sharib and Toshi.
"New Song Alert, Party Vibes Only With #Madhuban!" Sunny Leone had tweeted on December 2 with the video of the song. Over the weekend, some priests in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura also demanded a ban on the song, alleging that the dance to the song was 'obscene'.
With the recent reactions and respecting the sentiments of the citizens of the country, we will change both the name and the lyrics of the song Madhuban."
