‘National Hindu
Movement’ stage an agitation at KK
Demand a ban on
the film 'Bajirao-Mastani' for distorting history
By Dinesh Kamath
KOPARKHAIRANE: The spokesman for Hindu Janjagruti Samiti said, “The
history has been distorted through the recently released trailer, teaser and
the song 'Pinga Pinga' from the ensuing film 'Bajirao-Mastani', directed by
Sanjay Leela Bhansali. In the song, Kashibai, the wife of Bajirao and Mastani
are shown as dancing together. During the times of Peshwas, according to the
tradition of the women from the respected families, they did not dance by
displaying such body language. The women from the royal families such as
Rajmata Jijau, Rani Lakshmibai, Tarabai, Rani Chennama, etc. assiduously
followed this tradition. They displayed valour by carrying swords and defeating
enemies. However, Bhansali does not seem to have studied these royal traditions
and relied solely on the traditions of Bollywood, wherein it is usual for them
to make their own daughters dance and kiss the third persons. Let us hope that
Bhansali's distortion of history due to inadequate information would not pass
as freedom of expression. This act is nothing but getting rich by damaging the
ideal family system during the rule of Peshwas. Hence we are demanding by
lodging a complaint with the Central Board of Film Certification and Department
of Culture, Government of Bharat, that a ban should be imposed on the film
'Bajirao-Mastani' if the distortion of the history is not removed. Similarly,
the programme to celebrate Christmas along with 195 churches and distribution
of clothes to 2 lakh Christians by the Telangana Government should be
cancelled.”
To
raise these demands, the National Hindu Movement held agitations today at 5.00
pm Opposite Gulab Sons Dairy, Koparkhairane and some parts of Mumbai.
Representatives of Bajarang Dal, RSS, VHP, Hindu Janjagaran Mancha, Hindu Ekta
Mancha, Hindu Ekta Sangharsha Samiti, Shivprasthisthan Hindustan, Shivkarya
Pratishthan, Swarajya Yuva Pratisthan, Shiv Swarajya Sanvardhan Pratisthan,
Akhil Navi Mumbai Hindu Mahasangha, Shiv Sadhana Samuha, Shiv Force, Yuva Mitra
Sena, Bhagavi Sena, Yuva Maharashtra Sena, Hindu Rashtra Sena, Hindu Mahasabha,
Hindu Govansh Raksha Samiti, Yog Vendanta Samiti, Iskcon, Sanatan Sanstha, Shiv
Sena, BJP and Hindu Janjagruti Samiti participated in the agitations.
“Another
demand raised on this occasion was that the decision of Telangana Government
should be withdrawn, and the secular Government should be stopped from using
public funds for the appeasement of minorities,” said Dr. Uday Dhuri of
National Hindu Movement.
