Ojha filed a petition in the Chief Judicial Magistrate court.In the letter, the celebrities urged Modi to act upon the inhumane lynching of
Muslims and Dalits along with other minorities and called for immediate action.Added to this, the letter stressed that "Jai Shri Ram" was
no less than a "provocative war cry" and that there was "no democracy without dissent".Ojha filed the appeal citing that the 50 signatories
supposedly "tarnished the image of the country and undermined the impressive performance of the Prime Minister"as well as "supporting
secessionist tendencies".TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source
