Please don&#8217;t make it &#8216;unsocial&#8217; by posting derogatory posts about individuals, groups, sects, creeds, and religions. Learn to respect each other. No disharmony, please, &#8221; Jaspal Singh said on &#8216;X&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last four months, several incidents of hurting religious sentiments have taken place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently in two different incidents, people from Hindu religion had agitated demanding action against those who had hurt their sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that irresponsible statements against any religion, which creates tensions, will not be tolerated and action will be taken according to law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remarks were made following the complaints by devotees at two temples in the coastal state against social worker Shreya Dhargalkar for allegedly uttering disrespectful statements against goddesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the incidents, Chief Minister Sawant said that after he instructed the police, she was booked in both cases and has been sent to judicial custody till June 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I condemn the acts of such individuals who utter irresponsible statements against gods&#8230; Shreya Dhargalkar has been booked at two police stations and sent to judicial custody till June 4. This has sent a good message that if someone tries to create tensions unnecessarily by using social media platforms then action will be initiated. Such acts should be stopped, &#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We will take action as per law against such acts of irresponsible criticism. Statements against any religion will not be tolerated, &#8221; Chief Minister Sawant said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With cases of &#8220;hurting religious sentiments&#8221; increasing in the coastal state, Goa Director General of Police Jaspal Singh on Tuesday urged people to refrain from posting derogatory content. &#8220;Social media is a digital invention of the civilised world to spread information, knowledge, and interactions.
