Hindu Sena National President files PIL in #DelhiHighCourt seeking removal of alleged “objectionable scenes” in #Adipurush film relating to “Ravana, Lord Ram, Mata Sita and Hanuman.”

Scenes are contrary to depictions of religious characters as found in Ramayana, the plea states.

The Hindus have a particular view of the image of Lord Ram, Sita, & Hanuman and any change / tampering of their divine image by the film producers, directors and actors would be a violation of their fundamental rights, plea argues.

The plea states that the scenes show the religious characters in a bad taste and are an absolute insult to Hindu civilization, Hindu religious figures, idols, etc.

The hair style, beard and dressing are well defined as per image created in epics. Any variation by film producers, directors and actors would certainly hurt the sentiments of worshipers, devotees and religious believers, the plea argues.

“Therefore, such feature films may not be permitted for public exhibition until corrective measures are taken by the film producers and directors,” the PIL reads.

“Distorted public exhibition of Hindu religious figures by film #Adipurush is a clear cut violation of freedom of conscience and practice in as much as freedom to manage religious affairs as guaranteed under Article 26 which is also violated,” PIL states.

The plea also states that the filmmakers cannot be permitted by the Union Govt and Central Board Of Film Certification to publicly exhibit any feature film “which may tend to disturb public order and secular fabric of the society.”

“Because the feature film Adipurush has created unrest amongst the Hindus all over the country. A certain state government has also expressed its concern related to a likely problem which may be created / arise by the release of this film,” PIL reads.

It adds: “The Deputy CM of Uttar Pradesh has also made public statement not to allow exhibition of #Adipurush which may hurt religious sentiments. Therefore, implication of its release may have far reaching consequences if it is passed and cleared for unrestricted exhibition.”
