At a poetry program in Meerut, Vishwas recited verses indirectly referring to the Sinha family, urging parents to inculcate values from the Ramayana in their children. Vishwas pointed out the irony of the Sinha family’s Mumbai home being named after ‘Ramayana’, making veiled comments about Sonakshi’s marriage. His comments have been criticized on social media for inciting hatred and misogyny.
A video of the program has gone viral, in which Vishwas is seen addressing the audience. He said, “Remember the names of Sita ji’s sisters and Lord Ram’s brothers in your words. I’m giving a hint, those who understand will applaud. Reading the Ramayana and listening to the Gita. Otherwise, it is not the case that the name of your house is “Ramayana” and someone else picks up Sri Lakshmi of your house and takes it away. (Teach your children the names of Sitaji’s sisters and Lord Rama’s brothers. Here’s a hint- teach them Ramayana and make them listen to Gita. Otherwise someone else may take away your house’s name even if it is Ramayana. Srilakshmi of your house).
