Boycott Adipurush trends on Twitter: Religious sentiments hurt?

[ad_1]
Mumbai: T-Series Productions and Retrophiles’s upcoming mythological film ‘Adipurush’ which is based on the Hindu epic Ramayana has landed into controversy before its release. Helmed by Om Raut, the film stars Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan along with Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage in supporting roles. The trailer of the movie was released yesterday on the 9th of May.
Moments after the release of the trailer of the movie, various orthodox Hindu organisations and a few politicians opposed it. The movie is currently trending on Twitter and some of the netizens are either seeking a ban on the movie or demanding changes.
Expressing his disagreement with the makers of the movie, the head priest of Ram Temple in Ayodhya Satyendra Das said, “The way in which Ravana has been depicted is absolutely wrong and condemnable. Through the media, we demand an immediate ban on the film.”

He further said Om Raut does not show Lord Rama and Hanuman as mentioned in the epic either and hence goes against their dignity.
Satyendra Das is not only the person who seeks ban on the movie but BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj also said that the film makes a mockery of Hindu deities. He said, “Raavan looks like a Muslim invader in the film while Hanuman`s image has been distorted beyond recognition which is highly condemnable. Filmmakers think they can get away with any level of cinematic liberty. This cannot be permitted.”
Apart from priests and politicians, netizens too slammed the makers of the movie. One of the Twitter user wrote, ” They have turned the chapter of Ramayana upside down and shown the form of Hanuman and Ram in such a bad way..#BoycottAdipurush.” ”Hanuman ji ‘s looks in Adipurush looks more like designed by Abdul. intentionally make bad movies related to our dharma so that they fail at the box office, another user tweeted.
A third user Tweeted, ”I will not watch this movie, none from my family and friends will watch this mockery of Shri Ram, Shri Sita and Shri Hanuman. #BoycottAdipurush.”
Well, it seems that the movie may fall prey to the Boycott trend. What is your opinion about the movie, do let us know in the comments section and check out the more tweets below.

Rajasthan HC orders stay on arrest of Ramdev accused of hurting religious sentiments

[ad_1]
The Rajasthan High Court has stayed the arrest of Ramdev over an FIR registered against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and directed the yoga guru to appear before the investigating officer for questioning by May 20.
Justice Manoj Kumar Garg gave the direction while hearing a petition by Ramdev seeking quashing of the FIR.
The FIR was filed at the Chohtan police station in Barmer on February 5 on the complaint of Pathai Khan against the yoga guru’s alleged derogatory remarks against Islam and Christianity at a religious event in Barmer on February 2.

In provocative remarks at a meeting of seers, Yoga guru Ramdev had accused Muslims of resorting to terror and abducting Hindu women while comparing Hinduism to Islam and Christianity. He alleged that the two faiths were obsessed with conversion while Hinduism taught its followers to do good.
In his complaint, Khan claimed that Ramdev had made his remarks “deliberately… so that there is animosity against Islam”.
At the gathering of seers in Barmer, Ramdev had allegedly said, “Muslims offer namaz five times a day and then do whatever they want. They kidnap Hindu girls and commit all kinds of sins. Our Muslim brothers commit a lot of sins but they definitely offer namaz as they are taught to do so. Hindu religion is not like this.” A video of his speech had surfaced on social media.
“I am not criticising anyone but people are obsessed only with this. Some people talk about converting the entire world to Islam and others want to convert the world to Christianity,” Ramdev said. He allegedly claimed that these faiths had no other agenda.

BJP-RSS playing with sentiments of Goa, Karnataka on Mhadei issue: Cong leader

[ad_1]
Panaji: Stating that BJP and RSS is playing with sentiments of Goa and Karnataka (on Mhadei issue), the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge of Goa, Manickam Tagore, on Saturday said that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant should show courage to condemn remarks of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Addressing a Press conference in Panaji, Manickam Tagore, who was appointed as Goa in-charge last month, said that for BJP more important is an election and for Congress rights of Goa people.
“BJP and RSS are not sensitive towards Goa’s rights, for them what is important are to win elections. They are playing politics with Karnataka and Goa,” he said, after holding, Political Affairs Committee meeting.
“Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant should show courage to condemn remarks of Amit Shah, who has taken away the rights of people. Congress stands for Goa’s welfare and will be with the people. We will fight for the rights of the people,” he said.
“Congress has never created rifts between states. We have always dealt with such issues on an emotional level. BJP is doing this (creating rifts) to increase their seats in Karnataka during the Lok Sabha election. They are in a panic situation because they are losing seats there,” he said.
“Congress is making all preparations to come back to Goa in its original shape and we are rebuilding our organization. We want to win the hearts of people by winning both seats of Goa in the Lok Sabha election in 2024,” he said.
“I will be with Congress workers who are fighting against the corrupt BJP government led by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant,” he said.
He said that Congress in Goa is building new leadership by respecting also ‘old’ (senior) leadership. “With the blessings of seniors, we will build Congress again,” he said.

During a rally in Belagavi on January 28, Shah said: “Sonia Gandhi during a speech in Goa in the year 2007 said that the Congress government will not allow Mhadei water diversion to Karnataka. In 2022, Congress in their manifesto stated that Karnataka will not get a single drop of water from Mhadei. Today, I am here to tell you that the BJP at the Centre has resolved the long dispute between Goa and Karnataka over Mhadei and allowed the diversion of Mhadei to Karnataka to satisfy the thirst of farmers of many districts.”
