Bajrang Dal,Hindu Parishad members attack theatres screening'PK'

[Shot-Caller]

Just let go of each other Indians. You're completely different people held together. Religion comes before nationality for all of you, fighting over a movie.

 

[wolfschanzze]

My religion, my beliefs are none of your business.
I am an Indian and that is all that matters.

Toh jaana Bhaad mein apne!
Mujhe kyon tangh kar rahe ho? I know myself and my people!

Go find your own crowd, just like a lost wildebeest child is in Animal Planet channel !

Well had religion come before nation for us, we would be Hindu republic of Hindustan just like you are Islamic republic of Pakistan and would have Islamist running rampant killing and blowing stuff up in order to make us better Muslims or in our case Hindus.

Instead we are Secular Republic Of India, we are different than you, we are better than you.

It is better you accept we rule instead of Sonia madam!
As long as you keep to yourself ,there is no trouble!
But if you feel the need or itch to spread Gospel on us PAGANS!
Then be READY FOR OUR REACTION!

First thing, I don't ciritcise any religion so I'd appreciate if you keep your thoughts about my religion to yourself. Secondly if you think you are a secular nation you're living in a fool's paradise. Its one thing to call yourself secular and another thing being one. So you can call yourself secular,better than us, whatever you like, but you cant deny what happens in your country and that contradicts your claims.

Not any more.

The hinduists have taken over and running rampant all over India, just wait for few months to see the scale of it.

refer to post #6 of mine below.

If thats the case,What about that the coconut breaking scene in the Christian church altar,that too in front of Holy Cross??..Or that 'beer' scene in front of masjid??..Bomb blast in the train??..Lets enjoy the film rather than finding this and that....All looks yellow for a jaundiced eyes..

Very good, then those who are hurt should go to court and seek justice as per the law of the land, or are they above the law?

Really there are millions cases pending in courts in seek of judgement as these thugs will get way due to weakness in our system . problem is when they target faiths of particular religion last time we check when a prophet movie realese we saw how peacefully the other sect demonstrated without caring for our national interest with US they give much importance to there religious deity prophet than our diplomatic relationship.

Now you will say that if one side is extreme you should not be the same.but I have a different view sir if there will extremeness in one side of our society you will see the balance will always created like opposites forces.its all action reaction thing.

I watched that scene. How long did it last?
And the beer scene - he did not enter the mosque anyway. Besides, Christians are fair game too. Hirani was careful about one community to be honest. Who wants to be Theo Van Gogh anyway?(!)

Deplorable..... Why gov is mute spectators both centre n respective state ? These lunatics bringing more damage to us than anything good.... There is nothing much objectionable in the movie though it criticize moderately to Hinduism.

Good job, this was needed to stop these anti-hindu movies and propaganda in media nowadays.
you tolerate nonsense,the enemy will keep coming at you, once you hit back they will think twice next time before indulging in such mischief in future.If they still don't listen then increase the pressure to the next level.

There is nothing wrong in the movie but with those lunatics.. Positive Criticism is good for everything be it human, society,nation n religion so that we can introspect n improve upon.... This intolerance in the form of violence is not part of our culture.... Protesting/boycott in peaceful manner is more appropriate if some has any issue with content of movie.....

Let me tell when we see criticism of polygamy in Muslims there beliefs last time we checked a movie on prophet and it's repercussions after around the world for many days even in India were it was not even released.we have seen how seriously situation changes so do the critics in media or in society when the beliefs of the secular section is offended . nevertheless the law in order should be maintained but not only the case of Hinduism only.

Alleged Bajrang Dal activists on Monday vandalized prominent theatres in Ahmedabad, unhappy with the Aamir Khan-starrer 'PK' and demanding a ban on the film. The activists were caught on camera damaging theatres in the city, Times Now reported. Protests were also held in Bhopal over the film and some screenings were halted.

At least 20 members of the right-wing organization, led by city unit chief Jwalit Mehta, targeted City Gold and Shiv theatres on Ashram Road in Ahmedabad and smashed ticket windows and tore off posters of the film, PTI reported. Policemen from Navrangpura station along with deputy commissioner of police (sone-1) Virendrasinh Yadav rushed to the spot, but the attackers had fled before that. The police said. "We are yet to identify the persons behind these attacks, which took place around 10 am. We learnt that miscreants vandalized the ticket windows of both these theatres. We are now collecting CCTV footages to identify the persons," said Yadav.

However, Bajrang Dal owned up to the attack and warned other theatres screening the film. "Around 15 to 20 of our members today went to these theatres, which are screening Aamir's film 'PK'. I am warning other theatres to stop the screening, otherwise we will intensify our protest in the city in the coming days," said Mehta, a Bajrang Dal member.

"If his intention was right, then why did the movie not showcase anything about his own religion? Yesterday, I called majority of theatre owners and asked them to stop the screening. But they indirectly refused," said Mehta. Members of the right-wing organization allege that the film PK had several scenes that denigrated Hindu deities and hurt religious sentiments of the people.

"The romantic track between Anushka Sharma (shown as an Indian girl) and Sushant Singh Rajput (a Pakistani boy) is also being seen as promoting love jihad," said Dharmendra Asoliya, a member of the Bajrang Dal.

Vishwa Hindu Parishad activists intruded into Shree Talkies to disrupt the screening of the film in Agra. They tore posters of the film inside and outside the cinema hall, shouted anti-Amir Khan slogans and asked managers to immediately stop screening of the film.

"The film's protagonist 'PK' points out to strange customs that each religion is associated with. And while he takes on every prominent religion in the country — Hinduism, Islam and Christianity — some people believe that taking on a Hindu godman in the film is a direct insult to the community.

Several Hindu outfits have demanded a ban on the film for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. The Aamir Khan-starrer, which was released on December 19, has opened to rave reviews and received a great response at the box-office with the film revenue exceeding over Rs 200 crore across the country in the first week of its release.

According to a PTI report, two dozen Bajrang Dal activists wielding batons and iron rods vandalised theatres that were screening Aamir Khan's 'PK' in Bhopal. The report further stated that glass planes at ticket windows were smashed and posters were torn down at the City Gold Multiplex and Shiv theatre on Ashram Road in Bhopal.

Aamir Khan's PK has also invited the ire of yoga guru Baba Ramdev who has called for a social boycott of those involved in the making of the film, on December 28, as it has criticised Hindu gods and goddesses, reports economictimes.indiatimes.com.

Interestingly, a Hindustan Times stated that Censor Board will not be cutting any scenes from the film. It also quoted Leela Samson, chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification, saying that there are bound to be different opinions and those who don't agree can ignore it.

However, the troubles for the film don't seem to end. BJP politician Subramanian Swamy on micro blogging site Twitter questioned how the film was financed.

Then I suggest Sangh Parivaar to ask Modi to make goons and supari killers a legal means to settle disputes, we can do away with our slow justice system and settle things on our own.

First thing, I don't ciritcise any religion so I'd appreciate if you keep your thoughts about my religion to yourself. Secondly if you think you are a secular nation you're living in a fool's paradise. Its one thing to call yourself secular and another thing being one.

There are plenty of instances where Muslims also acted in a similar manner over a movie, I suggest you guys to get down from that moral high horse, that horse is dead already.

This is what I have been saying.
1) we are not like others who banned satanic verses. We(Hindus) are better in handling criticism.
2) Before you point finger others you have to introspect n kill your own ills.
3) Movie doesn't offend my religion(Hindu) instead it brought the few things in right perspective.

Lastly god does not live outside it is within all of us all we need to explore inside rather than getting help from baba's like Asharam, Nirmal, Ram raheem n many more ...
Why bajrang dal not on road when a gal were being raped by these thugs ?
I am dead against any baba they are many baba in illegal activity of transforming black money to white money .....
