Denigration of Sriram and Goddess Seeta thro’ a play called ‘Ravan-leela’

Mumbai: Two shows of play titled ‘Ravan-leela’ making mockery of Hindus’ Holy Scripture ‘Ramayana’ will be staged at ‘Pruthvi Theatre’, Mumbai on 2nd October at 6.00 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) has opposed this anti-Dharma play and a letter to that effect has already been sent to the manager of the said theatre, Mr. Lalit Sathe protesting against the play. The delegation of HJS that submitted the letter comprised of Mr. Satish Sonar, Narendra Surve, Mohan Shinde and Sandeep Gawandi. A representation has also been submitted to the senior Inspector at Juhu Police Station.

In this play, it is shown that Ravana is abusing Srirama in very indecent language. Director of the play, Mr. Om Katare has enacted the role of Goddess Seeta ridiculing her in this play. In the end, it is shown that Ravana is not ready to die as he is not paid his remuneration by the producers of the play. There is mockery of the Holy Scripture. (One cannot be a Hindu if his blood does not boil after reading the above. Om Katare, the director and other artistes who have denigrated Hindu Deities by stooping to such low level are unrighteous. Only because Hindus are tolerant that anyone and everyone dare to denigrate their seats of worship. Would Mr. Katare dare to make mockery of seats of worship of followers of other religions? Hindus must take such unrighteous people to task in lawful manner. – Editor SP)
