The Uttar Pradesh Police have taken a dim view and directed the cyber cell to initiate action against Urban Dictionary for posting a demeaning definition of former Chief Minister Mayawati. This was after angry netizens trended #SuspendUrbanDictionary on Twitter demanding action against the website.
Urban Dictionary had posted a tweet explaining the definition of Mayawati. Its tweet read, “Mayawati, An unmarried pornstar. A woman who can do everything for power. Kanshi Ram’s secret wife and ex-girlfriend of Mulayam Singh.”
No sooner did Urban Dictionary share the objectionable tweet, netizens began to demand action against the website by using hashtag #SuspendUrbanDictionary.
The UP Police took note of the development and directed its cyber cell to initiate action against Urban Dictionary. Its tweet read, “ADG Cyber Crime, UPPolice has been directed to immediately register an FIR against @urbandictionary for the derogatory & demeaning tweet. @TwitterIndia is being notified for action against the handle at their end.”
Earlier, Urban Dictionary had defined Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as a ‘conman who tricked people his friends to come to power.’ It had written, ”A conman planted by anti india forces in india. It’s a curse word for masses. Instead of saying rotten dog you can just say kejriwal. You used to hate politicians and now you’re hand in glove with them. You’re such a kejriwal. (sic)”
Dear @rsprasad @GoI_MeitY This is very serious. Take strong action against the culprits. @TwitterIndia @verified @TwitterSafety @manishm @amritat this is unacceptable. There must be some Indian guy behind this bot. Must be arrested. #SuspendUrbanDictionary https://t.co/789io2SK4T

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
