Therefore, strict action should be taken against Netflix company, its owners, publisher, artistes and officers by registering an offence against them," he said.In the complaint, the orgsation blamed Netflix for depicting the Hindu dharma in a bad light through series such as 'Laila, Sacred Games and Fire, among others."In the series 'Laila', the character 'Arya' was shown as extremely cruel and offensive and trying to establish 'Aryavart'.
