Amid the row over Netflix TV series Sacred Games, BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya has also chipped in with his bit. On Wednesday, Malviya posted a clip on Twitter from the recently premiered series based on the eponymous book by Vikram Chandra that seems to have ruffled some more feathers.

The clip shows one of the lead characters of the series, Ganesh Eknath Gaitonde played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui speaking about the situation after the death of Indira Gandhi and how her son Rajiv Gandhi went on to become the next prime minister and eventually gets embroiled in the Bofors scandal.

Following the complaint, Malviya had posted a clip containing dialogues which apparently had irked the Congress member.
