Lawyer Syed claimed that he made a complaint after she refused to remove the post. He argued that this was an attack on the Indian Republic and PM Modi. He also claimed he had “nothing to do with BJP/RSS”.
Syed also urged people to support one Vibhor Anand, who is raising funds on a crowdfunding platform Vibhor Anand who wants to file Rs 10,000 crore civil defamation suit against Divya Spandana for the same tweet.
