It seems like Liberals and intellectuals can not survive without insulting or mocking Sanatan Dharma under the name of 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION'. Interestingly their FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION is only responsive to Sanatan Dharma, and theyturned blind eye to same freedom when it comes to other religions.
Following the foot step of JNU, Pune Universities Lalit Kala Kendra, now this time Pondicherry University's Department of Performing Arts at allegedly insulted Devi Sita during the play. Apart from Devi Sita, they also distorted Hanumanji’s character during a play which was a part of their annual cultural festival Ezhini 2K24.
This is from Pondicherry University.

ABVP stage protest
ABVP posted, “ABVP PU Students protested against the recent incident held on 29th March 2024 at a fest organised by DPA, Pondicherry University Ezhini 2K24, where a play mockery of the Ramayana, including depicting Sita offering beef to Ravana and distorting Hanumanji’s character.”
In a statement, the ABVP said, “The ABVP Pondicherry University vehemently condemns the disgraceful incident that occurred during Ezhini 2K24, a department fest of the Department of Performing Arts, held on March 29, 2024. The event took a distressing turn when a play titled “SOMAYANAM” was staged, portraying a distorted and disrespectful depiction of characters from the revered epic, Ramayana.”
Karyakartas of @ABVPPondicherry University protested against the Department of Performing Arts, Pondicherry University for organising a derogatory play on Prabhu Shri Ram and Mata Sita.

Such actions under the guise of creative liberty are unacceptable. Respect for religious… pic.twitter.com/jLeOVC7TSe
It further added, "Communist and Left-led outfits deliberately wanted to malign Lord Ram and question the sanctity of Maa Sita for which they had charted this play. Furthermore, in another disturbing scene, Hanumanji, portrayed as “Kanjaneya,” was subjected to mockery, with his tail depicted as an antenna used for communication with Lord Rama. These grievous acts not only ridicule the revered characters of Hindu Dharma but also incite communal disharmony by demeaning the beliefs and sentiments of the majority community.”
ABVP demanded the administration of Pondicherry University to take immediate against the Urban Naxals of Pondicherry University for fouling the greatest literature of Indian Culture Ramayanam to restore faith in the Pondicherry University’s commitment to tolerance, respect and diversity.
A similar incident was reported from Pune University’s Lalit Kala Kendra on February 2, this year, where a play was performed based on ‘Ramleela’, which allegedly contained objectionable dialogues and scenes. The play titled ‘Jab We Met’ was staged as a part of a competition at Lalit Kala Kendra.
In the outrageous video, the student playing Mata Sita was shown smoking a cigarette. The theme of the play is reported to be the rehearsal journey of actors involved in Ramlila.
The play, staged by Lalit Kala Kendra and titled ‘Ramleela’, depicted the backstage scenes of actors performing various roles in the Ramleela. According to Shiva Barole, the Pune University unit chief of the ABVP, the play showed Sita smoking and using abusive language towards Laxman, which led to objections from the ABVP.
