BJP Yuva Morcha president Gokul Govardhan has filed a complaint against writer K S Bhagawan for his remarks against Lord Rama in his book ‘Rama Mandira Yeke Beku?’.

Govardhan said Bhagawan has been defaming the Hindu gods through his statements. “Though the matter of constructing Ram Mandir is pending before the Supreme Court, Bhagwan is giving negative statements,” he charged and urged the Nazarbad police to take action against the writer.

Earlier during the day, some pro-Hindu activists tried to stage a protest in front of Bhagwan’s house at Kuvempu Nagar.
