'Mirzapur 2': Anupriya Patel, Mirzapur MP demands action against web series

A day after 'Mirzapur 2' released on streaming platform Amazon Prime, Member of Parliament from Mirzapur constituency Anupriya Patel has demanded action against the web series alleging that the show is maligning the image of the Uttar Pradesh city by portraying it as a 'violent' region.

Taking to her verified Instagram handle, Patel said that through the web series 'Mirzapur', on one hand, while the makers are portraying it as a violent city, on the other the show is also spreading ethnic disharmony. 

On the contrary, she stated in her set of Twitter posts written in Hindi that Mirzapur, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is a developing city. Anupriya Patel added the city is the 'centre of harmony' and stated that the matter must be investigated and strict action taken against those responsible.

“Mirzapur under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ji, is a developing city. It is the centre of harmony. Through web series called Mirzapur, it is being maligned as a violent region. Ethnic disharmony is also being spread through this web series,” wrote Anupriya Patel, Member of Parliament, Mirzapur.

“As MP of Mirzapur district, I demand that it should be investigated and action be taken against it,” she added.

Anurpiya tagged Prime Minister Modi, UP CM Yogi Adityanath and I&B Minister Prakash Javadekar in her Twitter posts.

माननीय प्रधानमंत्री @narendramodi जी एवं माननीय मुख्यमंत्री @myogiadityanath जी के नेतृत्व में मिर्ज़ापुर विकासरत है।यह समरसता का केंद्र है। मिर्ज़ापुर नामक Webseries के ज़रिए इसे हिंसक इलाक़ा बताकर बदनाम किया जा रहा है।इस सीरीज़ के माध्यम से जातीय वैमनस्य भी फैलाया जा रहा है।1/2
