The attempt to malign Savitribai Phule was outrageous, painful and highly condemnable, Bhujbal said.

"The portal, in the name of rearranging history is destroying history. This anti-social tendency needs to be crushed," he said, adding that the state government must take the issue seriously and ban the website.
