Well, folks, we now have a balance between those protesting at the way the Rajputs are being shown and now those protesting against the way Akbar is being shown.
Actually, I was waiting for this from the other side. If a counter protest was really warranted, it should have been about the butchering of Ruqaiya's character, but that would not get anyone het up, for none of the MPs would have heard of her😉. Akbar is different.
Nothing much will come of this in practical terms, for the basic charge that Jalal married Jodha by force and was keeping her in Agra will be immediately shot down, being factually incorrect/
But I hope Ekta and her CVs get a bit of a jolt and tone down this raving, ranting Jalal. He gives me a headache.

Jodha Akbar
The popular daily serial Jodha Akbar being telecast
on Zee TV ran into controversy during the recent
proceedings at Rajya Sabha
BJP MP Nazma Heptullah demanded in Rajyasabha
that the serial be banned for depicting Akbar as
tyrant who forcibly married and kept Jodha. Nazma
said that the serial was tampering history and
children are being shown history differently than
what they studied in books. Nazma was supported
by some of her fellow MPs. Minister of State for
Parliamentary Affairs Rajeev Shukla responded that
he would convey the sentiments of MPs to
Information and Broadcasting Minister and request
him to take necessary steps on the issue.
