Florence Pugh, Cillian Murphy’s ‘Oppenheimer’ sex scene condemned as a ‘scathing attack on Hinduism’

Indian officials have denounced Christopher Nolan’s latest film “Oppenheimer” as a “scathing attack on Hinduism” for a sex scene between Cillian Murphy and Florence Pugh.

In a lengthy tweet shared Saturday, journalist and government-appointed information commissioner Uday Mahurkar slammed Nolan and the scene for its use of the Bhagavad Gita, which he called “one of the most revered scriptures of Hinduism.”

“We do not know the motivation and logic behind this unnecessary scene on life of a scientist,” wrote Mahurkar, who also founded the Save Culture Save India (SCSI) Foundation.

“But this is a direct assault on religious beliefs of a billion tolerant Hindus, rather it amounts to waging a war on the Hindu community and almost appears to be part of a larger conspiracy by anti-Hindu forces.”
