 "Opposition slams BJP for endorsing 'Adipurush', demands apology from filmmakers for 'insulting Hindu Gods'")
The release of Om Raut’s epic drama ‘Adipurush’ has caused a stir among the Opposition who say that the film which is based on Ramayana “insults” the Hindu religion. Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh on Saturday slammed BJP for endorsing a film that “portrays Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita and Lord Shri Hanuman in a negative light” through its derogatory dialogues. “Every Hindu holds Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita and Lord Shri Hanuman in utmost reverence and their heads bow down with respect as soon as their names are mentioned. And yet, the BJP has resorted to depicting them in a film that paints them in a negative light. These BJP leaders are partners in this grave insult of Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita and Lord Shri Hanuman by making and supporting this film,” Singh said.
BJP ने भगवान राम, माता सीता और भगवान हनुमान का अपमान एक फ़िल्म बनवा कर किया है।

Demanding an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Party President JP Nadda, Singh added, “You will feel ashamed if you listen to the dialogues of this movie.” He further said, “Those associated with this film had likely written what the party leaders had requested. It is imperative that the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party apologize before the entire Hindu community and the nation of India with folded hands.” He also accused the filmmakers of changing facts in the film by using their imagination. “In this film, Mother Sita was stabbed on the basis of imagination. Will ‘Ramayana’ also be changed on the basis of imagination? BJP people are not the ones who believe in the Hindu religion, they are the ones who destroy it,” he said. Congress also joined AAP in its criticism of Adipurush by describing the language used as “tapori.” Congress’ social media head Supriya Shrinate that while the author of Ramayana left a sweet, gentle and charming image of Lord Ram in the minds of people, Adipurush has “made a business of religion.”
“You will get cheap popularity on the strength of your sycophancy, big shows are also available, but lack of talent definitely comes in the way," she said.
हमारे आराध्य भगवान श्रीराम मर्यादापुरुषोत्तम है और प्रभु श्री हनुमान सौम्यता और गम्भीरता का प्रतीक हैं।

“The writer who calls Hanuman ‘Tere Baap ki Jali’ is not only a squid, but the Hindu is also a very vulgar type," she added.
