Mumbai: An exhibition of paintings by 22 artists has been organized at Delhi jointly by ‘Habitat World at India Habitat Centre’ and ‘Anushka Art and Design Pvt. Ltd.’ from 12^th September.

It was planned to pay homage to anti-Hindu painter M F Husain and pay tribute to his work in a program. Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) had opposed the same and explained the matter to the organizers of the exhibition; after which they cancelled the program of paying homage.

Mr. Shivaji Vatkar, the district coordinator of HJS for Mumbai, Thane and Raigad sent email to the above companies registering protest. Later, Mr. Vatkar contacted Mr. Banerjee of ‘Anushka Art and Design Pvt. Ltd.’ Mr. Banerjee was angry; he told Mr. Vatkar, “It is only due to Husain that present day artists are getting so much respect and money. We have not committed any mistake by planning to pay tribute to Husain. It is a matter of debate whether to oppose Husain. You are giving wrong information about Husain only to win the argument.” Mr. Vatkar replied, “You are a Bengali. You celebrate Sri Durga Devi Festival in big way. The same Durga Devi was drawn with lion, in nude, by Husain; then why should be he paid homage? We will send you the picture so that you will believe us. Will you not protest if such obscene pictures are painted of your seats of worship? Are you going to pay homage to such person? We have no objection to exhibit your paintings; but if you want to pay tribute to someone, do it for an artist like Ravi Varma. We only request to you that under no circumstances, tribute should be paid to a sinful person like Husain. ” After this, Mr. Banerjee calmed down and agreed to cancel the program to pay homage. Today, members of HJS attended the program and observed that program to pay homage to Husain was cancelled.

Habitat World, a convention centre in New Delhi is going to host a group show to pay tribute to Anti-Hindu and Anti-National painter M F Husain. Anushka Art and Design Pvt.
