Actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar on Sunday termed a complaint filed against her as "bogus and baseless" while asserting that her comments in an interview were regarding "divisive politics of BJP" and not Hinduism, which is the "epitome of peace".

"The complaint filed against me is ex facie bogus, baseless and filed with ulterior motives. I have been grossly misquoted by the complainant, who is a BJP member, with mala fide intentions. In my interview, I had only objected to the fake, divisive and violent ideology promoted by the BJP in the name of Hinduism to misguide our people and bring disrepute to our great religion. Hinduism is an epitome of peace, inclusiveness, and non-violence," said Matondkar in a statement.
