Agar himmat hai to dusre dharam ke logon par bhi isi tarah ki comedy karo, nahin karoge kyunki tumhara sar kalam kar diya jayega (You should be ashamed for making fun of Hindu gods and goddesses. If you have the guts do such comedy on people of other religions but you will not do so as it will result in your beheading)".

Srivastav added that there are no laws to stop such acts and urged Hindus to unite against them. He also said that removal of the offending scenes is not enough and that offenders should be strictly punished.
