Past instances of anti-Hindu statements
It was mentioned in the memorandum that Kunal Kamra has previously hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus through several of his comedy shows and public statements by insulting Prabhu Shri Ram, Hindu Dharma, and sacred Hindu sites. The memorandum also brought to the attention of the police that multiple complaints had been lodged against him at various police stations across the country in this regard.
Against this backdrop, and considering the likelihood that the event organised at Whitefield could adversely impact public peace, law and order, and hurt the religious feelings of Hindus, the police department was requested to reconsider the permission granted and cancel the event. The police had assured appropriate action regarding the matter.
A victory for the organised strength of Hindus
Subsequently, information was received from the venue owners that the programme had been cancelled. Welcoming this decision, the Hindu Rashtra Samanvay Samiti stated that this outcome is the result of awareness, organised strength, and a lawful, peaceful struggle by Hindu society.
On this occasion, Mohan Gowda, Karnataka State Spokesperson for the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and Co-ordinator for the Hindu Rashtra Samanvay Samiti, stated:
“This incident once again sends a clear message that Hindu society will not tolerate any attempt to hurt its religious sentiments. We express our heartfelt gratitude to the police department for taking positive action on a lawfully submitted memorandum, as well as to all the Hindu organisations, activists, and Hindu society who supported this effort.”
During the submission of the memorandum, Mohan Gowda (Karnataka State Spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti), Sriram Sena leader Sundaresh Nargal, Subramanya, Narayan Gowda, Bharath Kumar, Tayappa, along with key office-bearers of various Hindu organisations were present.
