A video of a coaching class has come under strong criticism from a section of people on Twitter. The video, which has now gone viral on social media has prompted users to trend #BanDrishtiIAS on Twitter. Several users including Dr Sadhvi Prachi took offense after a teacher identified as IAS Coach Vikas Divyakirti of Drishti IAS, which coaches students to become IAS officers compared Hindu Goddess Sita with ghee contaminated by a dog. According to reports, the teacher did this by quoting a Sanskrit author. In the video, the teacher can be heard saying that a Sanskrit author had quoted Ram who said, "I did not fight this war for you but for the respect of my lineage. Like ghee licked by a dog is not fit for eating, you Sita, are not fit for me." #BoycottCadbury Trends on Twitter After Sadhvi Prachi, Others Claim Cadbury’s Diwali Ad Linked With PM Narendra Modi’s Father.
