During the event, Vishwas said, โ€œTeach your children the Ramayana. Otherwise, it might happen that while your house is named โ€˜Ramayana,โ€™ someone else may take away the โ€˜Lakshmiโ€™ of your household.โ€

According to reports Vishwas took a veiled jibe at actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha and his daughter, actor Sonakshi Sinha. He indirectly referenced her interfaith marriage.

Reacting to the incident, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate slammed the poet for making โ€œlewdโ€ and โ€œcheapโ€ comments. In a post on X, she wrote โ€œDoesnโ€™t a girl have the right to marry the person of her choice?โ€. โ€œPoet Sir, who teaches othersโ€™ children to read the Ramayana and Geetaโ€“while hating the religion of Sonakshiโ€™s husbandโ€“have you forgotten how beautifully mutual love is depicted in the Ramayana?โ€

Supriya added that if Vishwas had studied the Ramayana, he โ€œwould have definitely understood love,โ€. Congress leader Surendra Rajput also condemned Vishwasโ€™s remarks, echoing similar sentiments. He called them โ€œcheap commentsโ€. He further stated that โ€œLord Rama will not forgive them.โ€

Rajput taking the matter on X wrote, โ€œKumar Vishwas, you too have a daughter. Remember, with all the meanness and shamelessness with which you have tried to tarnish Shatrughan Sinha Sir and his daughter Sonakshi Sinha, all the mud will fall on your face one day.โ€

Meanwhile, amid the political and online debate, Kumar Vishwas has not responded to the controversy so far.
