‘Karni Sena workers get ready’: Right-wing leader issues stern warning to filmmakers over film ‘against’ Sanatan Dharma India News

The Kshatriya Karni Sena chief has issued a strong warning to film producers, saying his films target “Sanathan Dharma” and hurt religious and communal sentiments. Sena national president Raj Shekhawat said his organization might confront them at their homes in Mumbai and “teach them a lesson.”“The right-wing leader has expressed disapproval of the upcoming films Yadav Jiji Love Story and Gusho Pandat, accusing the filmmakers of disrespecting faith and social groups, PTI reported.“It is time to go into the homes of producers and directors who are making films about our gods and culture and teach them a lesson,” Shekhawat told reporters after praying at the Chamunda temple in Harusalai on Saturday night. “I’m directing Carnicena Workers need to be prepared. We will soon travel to Mumbai and take action against these filmmakers at their homes,” he added.He alleged that the filmmakers had earlier targeted the Kshatriya and Brahmin communities and were now “insulting” the Yadav community. He said such films were made under the guise of freedom of expression while “misleading young people” and “hurting religious sentiments”.Talking about Yadav Ji Ki Love Story, which is slated to release on February 27, Shekhawat said community members have started protesting. Some have objected to the depiction of a romantic relationship between a Yadav woman and a Muslim man, with critics saying it could disrupt social harmony. Some BJP leaders have also called for a ban. According to news agency PTI, the filmmakers are yet to respond to the allegations.Shekhawat had also announced a “major movement” against the new UGC equity regulations in Delhi on March 8 and said a Swarna Samaj committee had been formed to demand their withdrawal. He said the group was reaching out to members of Congress to seek support.On February 18, an FIR was registered in Sambhal against the producer, director and star of “Yadav Ji Ki Love Story”. In a separate dispute, Netflix film “Ghooskhor Pandat” faced a legal challenge over its title, with the platform later agreeing to change the title following court proceedings.
