New Delhi, December 24: “Naseeruddin Shah gets paid to act in films, so was this statement a sponsored one? It is quite clear that there will be a series of such statements with the 2019 elections in sight.”, said the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Saturday claiming Naseeruddin Shah's outburst on the Bulandshahar episode, a sponsored statement.
The VHP joint general secretary Dr Surendra Jain, said that people who attain so-called secular talk about such selective issues, keeping silent and ignoring 100 other issues are dishonest. “It is now crystal clear that the movement of the "Award-wapsi gang" was also a sponsored one on the same way.”, he added further. He warned that such people should not humiliate Hindus by demeaning the pious work of cow protection.
Vigorously condemning such statements, the joint secretary moved to assert the the film actors are bestowed with all the love by fans of Bharat mata. But, for a few selfish motives, they end up destroying the communal fabric of the same country. “People like him will have to answer why they keep making statements which create tension between communities.”, it added.
“VHP condemns all murders, be it that of a human being or a cow. But one must wait for the results of the investigation before coming to any conclusion. VHP also calls upon everyone not to play with the sentiments of the Hindus by demeaning the good work of cow protection.”, reported the statement.
Raising other issues and the community’s (Shah’s) silence amidst those, Dr Jain pondered over saying, “Why he did not show the same level of empathy with the Sikh victims of 1984 riots or the dastardly killings of Hindus in the Kashmir valley in 1990? Why was Naseeruddin Shah not angry when 59 Hindus got burnt alive in Godhra, which included women and children?”
In many Muslim dominated areas like Mallapuram, Hindu students bound to partake lunch in lavatories during the month of Ramzan. Is this not enough to exhort Naseeruddin Shah into action? Why does his sensitivity not come into play then?”
“When Ankit, Chandan, Prashant Pujari, Arun Mahor and the like were murdered by Jihadis, Shah’s twitter account was asleep.”, he alleged. Calling the senior actor one of a pseudo secular, Jain claimed that these avoid uttering a word against the jihadi mobs, who eventually destroyed the Shahid Smarak in his own city of Mumbai.
Dr Jain, pointing towards the move attained by Shah, concluded saying, “Opportunists, like these, will now start a campaign by giving such baseless statements. Naseeruddin Shah's statement is not only politically motivated, but also utterly communal and has the potential to derail the environment of the nation.”
