PK controversy: Baba Ramdev to socially boycott Aamir Khan’s latest movie

 

Aamir Khan’s latest flick PK has been in the news ever since its first look nude poster released. Even though the audience has been raving about the film, there are many who have criticised the Rajkumar Hirani-directed PK. The latest to join the bandwagon is Baba Ramdev. The Yoga guru has expressed his hatred and anger over the anti-religious theme of Aamir Khan’s PK and also called for a social boycott of all those involved in the making of the controversial film.
Several FIRs have been filed against the Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer. Baba Ramdev has asked all ‘Hindus’ to come together and protest against the movie, as he feels PK is anti-Hinduism. Ramdev is strongly of the view that PK has propagates a wrong message against Hindus criticizing Hindu gods and goddesses.
“People think a hundred times while talking against Islam. However, when it comes to Hinduism, anyone gets up and says anything. This is shameful,” said Ramdev. Joining the ongoing controversy, he then went ahead asking for a social boycott of people who speak against or question Hindu culture and traditions in any way.
Baba Ramdev said, “There should be a social boycott in society against those who are involved in making such movies. It has become a hobby of some people to denigrate Hindu Gods and Goddesses…and insult our saints.” Not only that, Baba Ramdev specifically pointed out Aamir Khan’s name and said, “It seems like big personalities are fond of insulting Hindu deities.”
While on Sunday, December 28, Bharatiya Janata Party leader LK Advani was slammed by theHindu Janajagruti Samiti for praising PK and calling it a “wonderful and courageous film”, today the Bajrang Dal activists attacked a prominent Ahmedabad theatre protesting against the film.
Do you think all the fuss created around PK justified? Or just like Baba Ramdev, are you of the view that the film has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus and focuses mainly on degrading only the Hindu religion? Tell us in the comment section below.
