Facebook Removes Srijato’s Poem ‘Curse’, Case Filed Against Him

Facebook has removed a controversial poem of poet Srijato Bandyopadhyay after a Siliguri student lodged a criminal case against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of the Hindus.

The removal of 12-line poem 'Curse,' posted on Facebook on 19 March, the day Yogi Adityanath was sworn-in as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, follows the poet complaining to the police of having received threats over the poem.

I have seen today that the Facebook authorities have removed the poem.
